Sake My Life
Purchased at Naritaya Sake Shop, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture.
The aroma is quite fruity for a sake bearing the name "summer.
The taste is "slightly effervescent, easy to drink, and sharp with no lingering aftertaste.
It has no hint of sweetness, but there are certainly traces of sweetness. It is a bottle that has both the two weapons of "fruity freshness of the aroma and the freshness unique to summer sake" without any of the post-aging dryness of sweet sake imagined from the aroma.
As if the two have a master-disciple relationship, it has a sharpness reminiscent of Gagakuyo and a creamy fullness that can be felt as you drink it. The roots are the same, but I personally may prefer this one. It made me want to try a basic sake as well as a summer sake.
With this sharpness, I would have it with salmon halami.
Please try it.
