Hori
We received a bottle of Junmai Ginjo Blue Label from Imi.
It was one of the first bottles I drank last year that was shockingly delicious, and I was lucky enough to have it again this year.
Last year I had the impression that it was a very sweet sake, but this year it was not so sweet and I wondered if my memory was wrong. I thought it was a bit sweet last year, but when the temperature rose a little, it was still sweet.
This year, too, the rich sweetness was combined with sourness and a pineapple-like nuance, while the latter half was bitter, which is right in the middle of my personal tastes.
It is good to drink it cold right after it is stored below freezing, but it seems that you can taste the true flavor of the sake after it is left at room temperature for a little while.
