shitakke
Neat and sweet! The light acidity is followed by a light lingering taste that quickly fades away. It's the kind of drink you want to drink all summer long!
Over time, it changed to a mellow mouthfeel. I left the bottle chilled, so it probably wasn't a temperature increase. This one is... very tasty!
The brewery where it was brewed uses spring water from the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage site that rises from Aomori to Akita. Without a doubt, the water must be delicious.
According to the back of the label, this sake is the counterpart to Yamamoto's Pure Black. It has a juicy, citrusy sourness and is as crisp as a Japanese sword. It would be fun to compare drinks!
