Sake My Life
Aburacho Sake Brewery Gosho City, Nara Prefecture
The aroma is juicy and fruity, reminiscent of apples and pineapples. (A little frustrating, since the description said white strawberries and pears.)
My first impression of the taste is a sense of calmness. The fizziness and sweetness are more subdued than when I drank it before. The acidity is not that strong and there is a mellow aftertaste. The explanation column says it is a challenge edition, and the clerk at the store where I bought it said it had been three years since he had tasted it. The brewery describes Yamada-Nishiki as having a "crisp taste typical of Yamada-Nishiki. I had thought that Yamada-Nishiki was all about flamboyance, but I discovered something new. I feel that the flamboyance in the hint of aroma and the sharpness of the flavor is one of the brewery's answers to this question.
At times like this, a little fatty food would not be too much for the taste. I would like to try it with fried white fish.
We hope you enjoy it.
