Kangiku/Silver Lining/Junmai Daiginjo/So no Mai 29/Ultra-limited unfiltered unpasteurized sake
3.5
Purchased on the internet on the first day of sale. I was informed that it was sold out immediately. Just in time (lol). Even if the shipping cost is high, I want to buy Kangiku brand. The limited time and limited quantity tickle my fancy.
The temperature is the most important. I could not bring out the flavor by storing it in a home freezer for about 20 minutes after receiving it by cool delivery. A temperature of minus 5 degrees Celsius is really essential. At room temperature, the bitterness exceeds the flavor of the rice.
Despite the popping sound when the bottle is opened, the fizzy sensation is light.
So no mai," which is rice produced in the prefecture, is polished to 29 degrees Celsius. The taste is crystal clear, just like a Junmai Daiginjo. The taste is balanced with umami and acidity. The bitterness in the aftertaste echoes as an aftertaste.
This sake is a model of Junmai Daiginjo.
Personally, I have an image of Chiba = Kangiku Meijo. I hope they continue to stick to the domaine and terroir of Chiba like Abe Shuzo does.
However, it is also true that it is more expensive than other Kangiku brands at 2,530 yen. I was expecting a sake of a higher level.
The impact of the first taste of "Nagi" was too strong.
