shitakke
The new sake of this season's crop is also high in elegance; we have had it for four seasons in a row. It has an acidity that gives it a cleaner image than usual. Yet, it also has a fuller and more complex flavor than expected. As the temperature rises, the flavor comes out, and so does the umami. There is no flashy sweetness this season, but it is a sake that can be drunk for a long time.
