One bottle I purchased on my trip to Kanazawa was from my first brand, Naohiko Noguchi Institute. I bought it without looking closely at the specs and it was not Junmai 😅The vintage is 2018, which means it is 5 years old? Today's side dish was simmered lotus root and taro. I opened the bottle thinking that the local sake from Ishikawa Prefecture should go well with it. At the beginning, it's so refreshing and fruity that I can't believe it's 5 years old, but later it has a solid umami taste. I don't think it has much of an aged feel to it. It is a very well-balanced sake. It goes well with simmered dishes. The simmered dishes were gone in no time. I still have more to eat and drink 🤨.
