French label of the famous sword Masamune Ototen.
In France, the label that looks like wine is more popular than the label that says "Sake! In France, it seems that a wine-like label is more popular than a sake label. So they named it Château Shirasagi because they also make a sake named Shirasagi no Shiro.
The rice polishing ratio is 65%, but it is a Ginjo sake.
The color is transparent.
The aroma is a gentle ginjo aroma. It has a sweet aroma of apples, pineapples and a hint of koji.
At room temperature, the volume of sweetness and sourness is amazing. The big round taste spreads quickly in the mouth. After that, the sourness that surrounds the umami becomes the main flavor, and it slowly clears up. It is delicious.
I warm it up. I thought the sweetness would win out, but the acidity is so strong that the sourness and umami spread out, making this a great heated sake.
The brewer told me that the sake level is about -10, but they designed it with a higher acidity and amino acid level to keep the sweetness from standing out.
The balance is excellent. It's delicious chilled or at room temperature. If you're going to warm it up, don't do it halfway, but warm it up to a very high temperature where the acidity stands out.
About 1500 yen for a #4 bottle. Definitely cheap.
It's easy to pair with meals, and best of all, it's delicious.
I want all kinds of people to drink it.
