Hori
We received a bottle of Sairai Junmai Ginjo Nama-zume.
This sake is made by the Kitanishi Shuzo brewery in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture.
This is the second bottle of Sairai I have had since the first bottle, a new sake nigori (nigori) called Usugiri.
I have never seen Sairai at liquor stores in my area, and I always buy it online.
I think I see the Junmai Ginjo with the light blue label all year round, so I guess it is a standard position. There seem to be several variations, such as unfiltered, unfiltered, and hi-ire sake, but the one I purchased this time was the nama-zume version.
The aroma is a clear ginjo aroma. The flavor is refined and modern, just as the label implies. It is fresh and fruity, but not too sweet, and the acidity and bitterness give it a refreshing taste.
It may not be particularly unique, but it is highly versatile and can be drunk on any occasion.
The first impression I had of this wine was to buy a bottle, but I personally feel that its performance exceeded my expectations. I will try some more of the other types and if they are good, they will become my favorite brand.
I sincerely hope that there will be a distributor within easy reach.
