ariccyI thought I had drunk all the Shinshu Kamerei, but I discovered that I had actually only drunk Yamadanishiki as the raw sake.
The aroma is fruity like strawberry, melon, and fresh with a hint of blue grass.
The aroma is stronger than the fire-aged version, but refreshing.
Taste is sweet and fresh with melon-like sweetness and berry-like acidity in good harmony
Delicious!
It is easy to drink, with a strong sweetness and umami flavor, yet it finishes with a nice crispness.
Shinshu Kamerei is better when it is unpasteurized, as it has a more distinct flavor profile.
