Sake My LifeKamo Nishiki Junmai Ginjo Nama
Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture
The aroma is sour and fruity. Almost in the middle of juicy and matte.
The taste is sweet with a sharpness derived from the acidity. It has a strong lactic acidity. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and has a lingering sharpness from the alcohol that is not unpleasant.
The higher grade sake "Kafuda-shu" series seems to have a more tranquil sweetness and sharpness.
However, it is difficult to compare the regular type sold in Niigata Prefecture with the "Kafuda-shu" and "Brilliance" series sold outside Niigata Prefecture, for better or worse, making it difficult to see the vertical axis of the sake brewery.
If it is as sharp as this, there should be no problem even if it is a hokke. The combination of sweetness and sharpness seems to be a recent trend, but it is likely to become the most orthodox standard in the current sake trend as a way of choosing dishes to match.
We hope you will try it.
