I came across a badass sake.
Kitayuki "Hikari" Junmai Daiginjo Centrifuged Sake Long Aged Sake from Kitayuki Shuzo in Sado, Niigata Prefecture.
What's great about it is everything is great.
The aroma is fruity, reminiscent of mango and yellow peach. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the flavor spreads like this, and the flavor disappears beautifully.
Moreover, it is a long matured undiluted sake. According to what I heard, it had been asleep for 4 years. However, there is no sense of aging at all. Is it really aged for a long time? I doubt it.
It is said that it is a completely treasured sake that was put to sleep as a hobby of the chairman of Hokusetsu, Mr. Hazama.
It was very expensive, but it was enough to make me feel the value of the sake.
When will we next see a sake that can give us such an experience?
