The first Nanamizu was Junmai 65 DRY8 and repeated with Junmai Ginjo 55 which I wanted to try. Among them, Omachi is considered the flagship of Nanamizu. It is a sweet image, but what do you think?
Surprisingly, it does not have much of an aroma.
In the mouth, it is sweet with green apple or orange, with a fair amount of sourness mixed in.
After that comes a green apple-like bitterness, and while there is a little bit of umami, the bitterness is the main ingredient that pulls it up.
The lack of aroma is surprising, and it is a sweet and bitter sake with a lot of character. For some reason, it also has a slight Nagano-like impression.
On the third day, the basic flavor remains the same, but the sweetness has become a little darker, like a ripe apple.
The bitterness may be a characteristic of the BY. It is quite bitter, but for some reason, I don't dislike it. Is it the balance of the whole, or is the bitterness holding back the sweetness?
On the fifth day, heated to 40°C (104°F). The sweetness comes in like ripe bananas or dried persimmons, and the spiciness (or bitterness, you could say) finishes it off. Sweet warmed with a fruity flavor.
How warming it up may be the best way to feel its perfection. It loses its freshness, though.
I didn't think Junmai DRY was suitable for cold sake and Junmai Ginjo 55 for warmed sake.
I was surprised that it has a lot of character.
