Purchased in February at Sakaendo Horiichi-san's main store.
Despite being Niigata sake, this packaged sake is not distributed in Niigata Prefecture.
It is a reimportation of Rambo rage.
The image of packaged sake is that it is unpasteurized, but since there is no special notation on the label, I wonder if this is a fire-aged sake.
The aroma is subdued.
Recently, I am thinking of changing to a wine glass type sake cup because the sake I open at home is difficult to smell.
When I drink it, what spreads in my mouth is a meadow.
It is young grass. I can only describe it as young grass.
It is a flavor I have never felt before.
Speaking of Hachitan-nishiki, the Hachitan-nishiki of Tsushimaya in Gifu, which I drank before starting Sake-no-wa, was very tropical and tropical.
This Hachitan-Nishiki has a pineapple-like flavor, but it is not so fruity and gorgeous as tropical.
Anyway, it is young grass.
The texture is smooth.
The finish is not so much sharp as it is clean and flowing.
The more one drinks, the more one senses the high quality and precision of the sake.
On the other hand, it is too delicate because of its precision.
I have a feeling that you have to drink it literally freshly squeezed to really appreciate the true value of the sake. I have a feeling that the true value of the sake cannot be fully appreciated without drinking it literally freshly squeezed.
The fact that it is not distributed within the prefecture seems to be a result of the wholesaler's quality control considerations, so it is now a work of art.
