Umegae Junmai Ginjo
60% 15 degrees 720ml 1628yen
A hometown tax return gift. The Junmai was quite good, but the Junmai Ginjo?
The first sip of the bottle.
Oh, it still tastes nice and calm.
This junmai ginjo is made with "a sweet yeast that Toji likes. It's not flashy, but I wonder what kind of yeast it is.
The tank-shibori process shows the care and attention to detail of the flavor.
As I continued to drink it, it had a slightly richer sweetness than the Junmai. If you are drinking it with food, I prefer the Junmai because it is more refreshing.
I checked the price and the Junmai Ginjo 60% polished is 1628 yen. Junmai 65% polished is 1120 yen! If that's the case, Junmai is definitely the way to go.
I found out about Umegae Shuzo only by paying taxes in my hometown. I'll have to go to Sasebo sometime.
