Ichinotani Junmai Daiginjo. Single-unit bottle.
Purchased directly from Uno Sake Brewery.
Sake with a very slight, but yellowish tinge.
Slightly sweet, with a slight tang as it passes down the throat.
Overall impression is mature. The mouthfeel is quite smooth.
The taste seems to come later, not immediately in the mouth. Sweetness and bitterness, followed by some acidity.
The taste is modern and fruity, but it sometimes has a traditional sake-like quality.
It is a taste with depth.
The taste is a bit thin, so if you drink it with strong-flavored food, the sake flavor disappears. It is good in that it does not interfere with food, but if you want to taste the sake, it might be better to drink it by itself.
