shitakke
Nice acidity! The temperature starts off a bit high in the cold sake band. It has a ginjo feeling, but the sweetness is moderate. The sourness is just barely within the line of my personal taste, so this appraisal is pleasantly intoxicating...
Apparently, Sanpai has its own way of enjoying itself, but I think this is a drink that can be enjoyed cold or chilled! Also, as it approaches room temperature, the acidity seems to soften and the flavor comes out.
Tashu was launched in October 1974 with the intention of going back to the basics of sake and creating a real sake with style. Next month it will be exactly 46 years since it was released (it's got more history than I thought!) I'm happy if it's a little easier to get.
