＜Umigugugun Junmai Classic
Whoa! The aroma reveals that this is a classic type with a lot of flavor. The lactic acidity, the sweet flavor of the rice, and the alcohol are all conveyed in a bold way. Delicious!
When you put it in your mouth, you will be surprised to see the acidity and sweetness without any fruity notes. Then, umami bitterness is added, and it goes even faster! And then, the alcohol goes boom! Yum!
It is very powerful. As expected, there is quite a bit of umami on top. The alcohol content is 15 degrees, but my sense is that it is about 16 to 17 degrees. This concentration of flavor is very Junmai-shu.
Because of the firm umami bitterness and strong alcohol taste, I honestly do not recommend this sake for beginners. But if you can enjoy this taste, you are a fine adult. (also called an old man).
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to the engineer of the light railway in "Castle in the Sky". He is the one who helps Sita and Pazoo escape from pirates and the army. He is a spirited old man who does not flinch from either the pirates or the military.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
