Sake My Life
Aoki Sake Brewery Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture
The aroma is mild, juicy and fruity.
The first impression of the taste is "thick", and it has a strong punch, probably due to its 17% alcohol content. It is more of a sweet wine, but it is a good middle ground between sweet and savory.
The flavor is both rich and crisp. The richness is especially noticeable. To be honest, it does not have the flamboyance of Yamada-Nishiki, but it may be a bottle that makes the most of the potential of Yamada-Nishiki.
I am looking for a sake that is more refreshing while maintaining this richness.
Tsururei is the sake that got me started drinking sake, and after several years of drinking it, I feel differently about it.
Since we are in the season of firefly squid, it should be a good match with seafood that has a few quirks.
We hope you enjoy it.
