Katori 2021 Junmai Namaishio
80% 15% 720ml 1309 yen
Purchased at a select organic store in Sancha. Made with pesticide-free rice.
The sticker on the label says "Nironi" and I wondered what it was, but it turned out to be NINO-NY (2021).
The color is quite amber.
It has a spiciness on the tongue and an acidity that reminds one of vinegar. And it has a nice aged taste. This is amazing.
The warmed sake gives it more of a "sake yeast" feel.
The rice seems to be a blend of various varieties, including an unfamiliar one called "Yukikawake.
I confirmed that it can be purchased on Amazon.com, and I think it will be one of the top sakes I drank in 2023.
