I bought a bottle from Kanazawa-ya Sake Brewery in Niigata Prefecture, which was produced in 2021 and kept in the refrigerator for about 4 years 🍶.
Ingredients are Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture
Polishing ratio is 60
Alcohol content is 18%.
Sake degree is +5
When the bottle is opened, it has a slight sweet aroma.
When poured into the sake cup, it is smooth and has a slightly yellowish flavor.
After a sip, the taste of lightness spreads quickly, followed by the umami and rich sweetness of Gohyakumangoku, while the acidity from the back of the mouth quickly fades away. Finally, there is a lingering bitterness that makes you want to drink more.
It is a light and refreshing sake, just like Niigata.
It is best enjoyed chilled, but as time passes and the temperature rises after pouring into the sake cup, the mellowness increases.
Personally, I prefer to enjoy it on its own rather than as a food sake 😄.
