Recommended Sake by Home Sake Shop Representative
The highest rated sake out of 1,000 entries in the SAKE COMPETITION 2024.
Although it is a regular product, the 720ml version is a limited edition.
Made with 55% polished Akita sake rice (koji rice) and 58% polished hanged rice (kake rice), 16% alcohol by volume.
When the aluminum cap is twisted tight, the opening sound is silent.
The top-tasting aroma is of honey apple.
Mild sweetness and umami in the mouth.
There is a moderate acidity after the first sip.
The mouthfeel is smooth and clear.
It has a sweet taste at first, but it is surprisingly dry.
The last taste is a distinct bitterness that finishes off the palate.
Considering the price of 1,540 yen, it is well made.
I guess restaurants must be grateful for it.
I agree (as expected, "conscience" 🤔)
However, from an individual drinker's point of view, although the cost performance is good, I would like to have more high level drinks even if the price is higher.
I would choose a higher level sake even if the price is higher...
I'm not sure if I'd choose it...
I was thinking that the more I drank it on the second and third days, the more the flavor came through and the more delicious it became.
I think this aspect of the sake is also suitable for restaurants 😉.
