Nabeshimaオレンジラベル 純米吟醸生 五百万石
loopy
Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
This is a fresh finish Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo class, a.k.a. Orange Label Nama Sake, made from Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone).
(My impression after drinking it)
It has a slightly greenish hue, which is typical of a nama sake. The nose is full of fruity aroma like apples. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a sweet and sour taste with a little stimulation on your tongue. It does not have a strong amino acid taste, but the flavor of the rice is refreshing and not as harsh as that of Hana-yosu, so it is also good as a food sake! I am looking forward to comparing this sake with Akaban Omachi, which is also from Nabeshima, to see the difference. I love "Nabeshima" for its consistent flavor.
