drumsCo74This is a gentle Junmai Daiginjo made in Bizen Omachi, and it too has a slight sweetness for a drunk whale.
A moderate tanginess enhances the taste of snacks such as blue cheese and smoked fish, and the flavor is so clean that the fleeting aftertaste quickly fades away.
It is not dry (although I did not find it dry), but I believe that this sensation is unique to drunken whale.
It has been more than 20 years since I first encountered drunken whales, and this and another sake I recently encountered on the recommendation of a good friend, Tasake, are also among my favorites for their ephemeral aftertaste.
However, I may have wanted a little more of the hard-to-express peculiarity that is typical of drunken whales, but there is no doubt that it is a very tasty sake.
