Another interesting bottle by Shuzo(上手). Apart from its extremely low rice polish at 11%, its sensational umami(旨) flavour is simply unparalleled by other sakes I had. The flavour is low in acidity and bitterness with a hint of sharpness from the alcohol. The best thing about the taste is that, after a strong shock of umami, pure sweetness ( like sugar cane) slowly emerges on the tip of my tongue. It’s like going through a valley first, then slowly climbing up a mountain. It’s sensational.
