sukapontan
Amami's new sake. Also known as "Yukiten.
I expected it to be sweet because it is nigori, but contrary to my expectations, the bitterness stands out.
Of course, the sweetness is present, but it is subdued and tightly controlled by the acidity and bitterness.
This is a sake that is probably best consumed as a food sake, and is exquisite when paired with food.
It seems to go well with winter specialties such as nabe and oden.
