Alcohol content: 15.5
80% Hachitan-Nishiki, 20% Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio: 60
This sake was served near Fukushima station on a business trip.
I had previously had a 100% Yamadanishiki special Junmai Hi-iri at a corner bar in Tokyo, but this is a blend of Hachitan-nishiki and Yamadanishiki.
While the 100% Yamadanishiki version had a more fruity aroma, this one had a more floral aroma.
As for the taste, the sweetness was more subdued than other Jikin, while the umami from the rice was more pronounced.
In general, it was a dry Jikin with a very good, refreshing acidity.
It was delicious.
