越の酒好き
The third sake of the day is also from Kanagawa. This sake is very strong, so I drank it with an inokuchi (cup).
It has a rich, mellow, sweet taste.
A rich and thick texture on the tongue
Aroma of rice with increased umami.
It has a sweetness with a caramelized taste, but the acidity comes quickly.
There is almost no sharpness in the aftertaste, and it is very cloying.
Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol 16%.
Sake meter -5, acidity 3.1
100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Niigata Prefecture
Unusual for Oya? It is a very rich and umami-guchi type.
It is a so-called "kijozo-shu," a type of sake in which sake is used instead of water in the final stage of the three-stage brewing process, which makes the umami taste thicker.
I think it would be delicious with carbonated water!
