There are quite a few varieties of Echizenmisaki, but it seems to be positioned as a slightly more modern junmai than Stark Kaiser or Ihyakumangoku. It has a melon aroma, similar to that of Kuroryu. Is Kuzuryu a major sake rice in Fukui? The first day: cold sake. After a little muskmelon-like fruitiness, the umami of the rice gradually swells with a sweetness accompanied by a light acidity like ripe grapes. The final taste is spicy or bitter, and it slowly finishes. After a week, there is almost no change. 40°C. It has an alcoholic aroma and is slightly lemony at first sip, with a slight orange sweetness mixed with the umami of the rice. The finish is dry and crisp. At 45℃, the fruitiness fades and the spiciness becomes more pronounced. Personally, I prefer 40℃. It is a standard Junmai-shu of a mild modern style that is perfect for a mid-meal drink. Personally, I prefer it cold, but it is also good warmed at 40℃.
