Annual gift, Yonotori from Shinmasa Sake Brewery this year
This is sake, but it is not sake.
It is a noble sake.
From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it seems to be somewhere between cheap sake and wine, and from there on it is consistently super sweet all the way down to the throat.
The sweetness and tropical aroma with a hint of acidity, just like a white wine, but with a slightly effervescent texture and the dominant rice flavor in the sweetness, it has a mysterious deliciousness that keeps you going from one sip to the next. I said tropical aroma, but after looking at the label, there is definitely a sense of onsen-like cedar in the wooden vat.
This time, I chose to accompany it with sashimi, but this was a mistake. It is a sake that enjoys its own peculiarities, and is completely sake oriented, as if unsalted nuts and the like would be good.
