LysineI found this sake at a liquor store in the basement of Isetan when I went to Kyoto the other day. SYNAPSE" by Takeno Shuzo
I've never seen this sake before, but the label was so cool that I bought it on impulse.
It's a rather expensive sake, about 5,000 yen for a 4-gallon bottle.
The aroma is a gentle, mild ginjo scent.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight foaming sensation and a juicy melon-like taste.
After drinking it, it is light and goes in easily without any miscellaneous taste.
It is not too sweet and has a crisp throat.
The aroma that lingers behind disappears beautifully.
It is a recent ginjo type sake, but I think it goes well with food.
It is expensive, so I don't buy it all the time, but when I go to Kyoto and find it, I definitely want to buy a bottle.
Delicious!
