I recommended this to a friend of mine who is not a big sake drinker. He also drank Jikin, but he liked this one better. I personally can't miss this matured raw sake.
I had it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless even though it is aged.
There is no matured aroma, but a slight citrus aroma and alcohol aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly juicy and viscous.
The nose is citrusy with a faint caramel-like aroma.
The synergistic effect of these notes creates a complex flavor.
In the beginning, one senses a strong acidity and thinks that a lump of acidity remains on the tongue, but from the mid-palate, a rich sweetness and umami, as if concentrated from very ripe fruit, spreads in the mouth, and the residual acidity tightens the taste. The lingering sweetness and umami taste is then brought out again by the remaining acidity.
I can't describe it well, but it is still delicious.
I used to think that ordinary Japanese sake was good, but I can say that aged nama-zake is also good.

Hi Nemuchi 🐦.
I bought mine at the Takashimaya event... I bought this one because I preferred it, but I was drunk so I want to try the regular one again 😆 I hope there will be more stores in Kyoto that carry it 🙏.
