Echizenmisaki槽搾り純米 復活米九頭竜 火入れ瓶囲い
Kab
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℃.
