shitakke
Light sweet with freshness! First impression when just opened is bitter. But as the temperature rises, the sweetness is coming out. A fine cage floats on the surface, giving the original flavor. The aftertaste is like a richness, similar to bitterness. I drank it twice in the past in different years, but this year may be the most mature when compared.
The alcohol content is 16%. It is made from 100% Hachitan-Nishiki grown in Hiroshima Prefecture. This may be the only Hachitan-Nishiki sake I have ever had. Tokyo has some great sake! I like this spec of Yamori so much that I can't help but buy it when I see it in stores.
