Sake brewed with 100% Kame-no-o, a pesticide- and chemical-fertilizer-free sake, grown with great care by Mr. Koyama of "Chantoseya Farm" in the terraced rice fields of Kamiseya, Miyazu City, located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. I bought it at my favorite liquor store out of curiosity. It smelled like rum and was summery and refreshing. When I tasted it, it was very interesting. It is quite refreshing and dry, with a hint of sourness. Perhaps due to the fact that it is 11% alcohol, the freshness of a young white wine, rather than the umami and richness of rice, comes out in full force. The lingering finish is long, with just a hint of bitterness and astringency. It was an interesting sake that could really be mistaken for a white wine if you drink it with your eyes closed. It was a treat!
