I remember the first sake I ever drank in my life was Urakasumi, which I drank at a cheap izakaya with my best friend right after our coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, I still had a hard time understanding the true taste of sake, and it was hard to describe my impression.
Urakasumi is a brand of reasonably priced sake with a sweetness and aroma of rice that is outstanding. However, it is not only sweet, but also smooth on the palate, with a gentle aroma and sweetness of rice, a cohesive convergence of flavors, and a sharp aftertaste, all coexisting in good balance to create a pleasant taste.
Such reasonably priced junmai sake should be chilled in a slightly warmer place, such as the vegetable compartment of a refrigerator, rather than chilled to a crisp. Thank you again for this evening's sake.
