Sake My Life
Murayu Sake Brewery Akiba-ku, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture
The aroma is in the fruity category, but very koji rice aroma is strong. Is it a pre-fruity stage?
I described it as koji rice, but it also has a citrusy aroma. I would like to study the relationship between these aromas in the future.
The taste is sweet but has a certain sharpness, so it is not sticky.
The ratio of sweetness to sharpness is 7:3.
I appreciate that it is a draft sake, so it is lighter than the Murayu I drank before. I agree with other Sake-no-wa users who note that it should be left for a few days. Looking forward to the acidity and robust sweetness from the oxidation.
I will have it with mussel sashimi.
Please try it.
Four days later, I drank it again.
The aroma was mellow and fruity without the koji aroma.
The taste tapered off, but it was richer. It was a good discovery that the aroma had calmed down after the brewer let it sit for a while. Also, the aroma is like dark sugar, which may have something to do with the koji aroma.
