酒呑ノ鳥居
Nishijin" brewed by Sasaki Sake Brewery in Kyoto, Japan, which is distributed in France. Somehow I got it.
It's a 🌾? %(probably junmai sake)
This one is a strong 15% by volume, despite the fact that it is aimed at Europe.
It has a modest top-end, and the lack of off-flavors for its production date (22/01) is both strange and fascinating.
The taste is satisfying enough even for Japanese, and it is definitely strong enough to be heated up.
It has a lot of amino acids, which many people may consider as a bit of a cloying taste, but I think it is within the range of what can be called "umakuchi mellow".
However, as usual, the price is quite buggy for an overseas product.... The specifications seem to be similar to those of products sold in Japan, so please visit Sasaki Shuzo's website for more information.
