Let's drink Shiga's sake series.
The other day, I visited Takatsu Sake Shop in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, for the first time and got this "back-up sake" 🍶.
It is a "Ninja Junmai Daiginjo" from Seko Shuzo in Koka City.
However, this sake is a ninja, but not a ninja 🥷.
The details of this junmai daiginjo-shu are shrouded in mystery.
For some reason, the cap also says "Junmai Ginjo," which is another sign that it is an undercover sake!
The appearance is a pale silver yellow.
The aroma is gentle, gorgeous and cool.
The aroma is sweet and aromatic with apple, freshly cut pear, melon and banana in the background.
Honeysuckle, cool and refreshing chervil, and a faint laurel.
Rice aroma about the level of Kamishinko.
Fluffy and mellow texture.
A beautiful, rich sweetness and a gentle, fine acidity spread softly in the mouth.
The alcohol passes through the nose, and the clear umami flows smoothly.
The fruity sweetness of the overtone is intoxicating, and the sharpness seems to disappear.
The lingering aftertaste is long with a slight, beautiful bitterness.
Fruity ginjo aroma and extremely fine taste. ☺️
No, it's really messed up and wonderful 😊.
Even the best sake breweries can be lost due to the circumstances of the time.
The world of sake is harsh and ephemeral... I had this while thinking about many things 🍶.
