I've been drinking a lot of Seven Crowned Horse lately.
Today, it was Junmai Nama Shiborishina.
This "shiborishina" means "freshly squeezed" in the dialect of the Izumo region (I think, though it doesn't say).
It's the best time of the year...but it was made at the end of last year, so that's something to look forward to.
The rice is polished to 60% and the alcohol content is 17 degrees.
There is no smell, but when you hold it in your mouth, the sweetness of the rice spreads throughout your mouth.
The sweetness goes down your throat without being unpleasant.
You can also feel the sake in the aftertaste.
It is good enough for casual drinking at home.
It says that it should be served chilled, but I personally enjoy it at room temperature, where I can feel it catching in my throat (in a good way).
It's fun to drink it in different ways.
