Hori
I received a bottle of Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake from Kawanakajima Genmai.
Sake from Nagano Prefecture has been my favorite recently, and I have been drinking it more and more often.
This is my second bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai.
This azuki colored label Junmai Ginjo is made from 100% Miyamanishiki. Although it claims to be a junmai ginjo, the rice polishing ratio is a luxurious 49%, which is the highest in the daiginjo class.
It is a freshly squeezed, unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake, but the texture is smooth and lustrous, not gassy. The texture is smooth and glossy, but the smooth texture does not mean that it is round, and the flavor has a clear outline.
The first taste is rich and sweet, and the addition of acidity completes the fruity flavor. The second half has a crisp and sharp spiciness, but the aroma that lingers in the nose is mellow and even seductive, like ripe tropical fruit.
It is a modern type of sake, but it also has a sake-like sharpness brought about by the alcohol content that is greater than the alcohol content, allowing you to enjoy the best of both modern and classic tastes.
It is no wonder that this sake is so hard to find.
