アララララ
Takachiyo Junmai Daiginjo Unadjusted Raw Sake
100% "Ipponjime" from Niigata Uonuma
Rice polishing rate 48%.
Less than 16-17% alcohol by volume
For some reason, the hiragana "Takachiyo" on the pretty bottle didn't appeal to me, but the limited edition characters and the red kanji for "Takachiyo", which has an overwhelming sense of royalty, attracted me to buy it.
When I opened the package, the ginjo aroma rose to the surface.
The aroma is gorgeous, rich and intense.
Expectations are high.
On the palate, the sweetness is reserved but firm.
The rich umami, sourness and bitterness are well balanced in the mouth.
This is the classic daiginjo sake.
It is a little spicy, but you can enjoy the elegant flavor and sweetness. We don't know the difference between the "Ipponzume" 😅.
I tasted the Takachiyo while wondering what to snack on.
Next time, I wanted to try Takachiyo in hiragana.
It was delicious.
Happy.
