tomy
This is the last sake purchased on the Niigata trip. It is an al-soze regular sake. The rice is different from the Shu version, and M seems to be Minamiuonuma. I was surprised after drinking sake for the first time in a while. It starts with a nice aroma, and although the flavor is not flashy, it has a sweetness and umami that is as good as any modern local sake that costs around 2,000 yen for a 4-pack. I finished it in about three weeks, and it did not deteriorate much, as is often the case with local sake. However, this is a sake to be drunk chilled or less. The acidity is a bit too much when heated. Recommended.
