This year's Sogape missed the Trois I was aiming for in the absence of a doe, and I got the Numerosis Normal lot late in the game.
The liquor store owner said to me, "If you've had Domaine Ikeda lot of Numerosis, you don't have to buy it, do you? He laughed at me, but I got it!
I was thinking of putting it to sleep for a while, but somehow I opened it in the order of the fridge 😆.
Miyamanishiki 59% polished, 16% alcohol
I popped the cork.
No ginjo aroma (really no ginjo aroma 🫢)
The aroma of sake yeast with a little bit of zing.
This is what makes it so intriguing 🤤.
Sweetness on the palate
Fresh acidity of nama-shu
Thick umami like a traditional sake with a rich and thick flavor of the traditional sake yeast
It is good to let it sit and enjoy the rich sweetness, but it is also good to open it early and enjoy the balance between the acidity and the umami of the nama-shoto yeast.
Sogape seems to be a classic sake, but it also has a modern impression, which is very appealing 😊.
