This is Ayagiku Sanuki Olive Junmai Nama Nama-shu from Ayagiku Shuzo in Kagawa Prefecture.
It is a new seasonal pure sake brewed with Sanuki olive yeast produced from olives in Kagawa and Kagawa's sake rice, Oceto, polished to a 60% ratio.
The appearance is crystal clear with a hint of yamabuki.
The aroma is of sake-like malted rice with a hint of greenness from unripe gourd and papaya.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with a fresh attack with a mixture of umami and acidity. No sweetness is detected at all.
As it rolls around in the mouth, it has a stimulating acidic overtone, followed by a sharp acidity that finishes with a sense of alcohol.
There are many low-alcohol sakes nowadays, but this sake has an alcohol content of 17%, so it is a new-sake-like sake with a strong attack.
It is a fresh sake with a good flavor and acidity.
I think it would be good with pork stew or sweet-and-sour pork as a food sake with a wash effect.
Thank you for the sake.
