Jokigen特A山田錦 純米生酛

The price is 1320 yen including tax for a special A Yamada-Nishiki sake yeast. Start with a cold sake near room temperature. Surprisingly, it has an aroma. It smells like alcohol. The main taste is sourness, which could be lemon or yogurt-like, and there is a hint of thickening and bitterness, but soon the rice flavor and spiciness come out, and it slowly starts to lift. The acidity increases as the sake is heated up, making it more sour. 45-50℃ is the right temperature for this sake, but I personally prefer it cold or at room temperature rather than heated. It has a moderate umami and sharpness, but the acidity takes center stage. It is a good summer sake. It has a unique character, but it is not as unique as one might think. It is a super-cost-effective sake.
