This is a limited edition of the standard "Tokujun", which is a limited edition of a bag suspension and "Shizuku-kakuri" (drop harvesting). I was very curious about it right after its release and was about to ask the manager about it when he made the first move and said, "This is delicious.
I was wondering what kind of sake to drink after Kangiku because of its high quality, but this time, I decided to serve this one with high expectations.
What a great aroma! I love it so much! The melon fruit aroma is strong, and the magic ink aroma reminds me of alcohol. I'm sure I'll love it when I drink it!
When I took a sip of it...it's still melon!
If the sweetness was more upfront, it would probably be Yubari melon, but the sweetness is moderate, which is like the Andes in a good way!
The coexistence of the two is ambivalent and interesting: soft for a special junmai and strong for a pouch-hung sake.
The umami is not too forward, nor is it the type where the acidity shines through. While leaning toward the classical style, the melon aroma and the modest but present sweetness give the sake a modern impression.
It is a completely different type of sake from the one I had just before, so I am glad that I cannot compare the two. I might buy it again next time if it is on sale..!
