Ima-Nishiki De Ville
DE VILLE means street corner in French.
Sake aged in whiskey barrels. It has a fragrant aroma of dried grapes. It is a little sour and you can strongly feel the aroma of the barrels in your mouth. The tongue feels numb and hot, just like the aftertaste of distilled sake. However, the gentle sweetness retains its sake-like character.
The portion of sake that evaporates and decreases as it ages in the barrel is called the "angel's share" and the portion that seeps into the barrel is called the "devil's share," but it seems that this sake had an increased alcohol content after aging in the barrel.
Devil's share is getting in......you mean!
Purchased at Ina Kantenpa Garden.
They also gave me a free gift of mint tablets.
