This time it is a pure rice daiginjo from Kamikai. This sake is from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
It is a Junmai-Daiginjo with 1801 yeast.
I bought it when I visited a sake festival at Takashimaya in Kyoto.
I was attracted by its clean and beautiful taste, and the retro label is also a high point for me personally.
It is served cold.
Almost crystalline appearance.
The nose is fresh and fruity, reminiscent of Japanese pears, with a sweet, candy-like aroma.
It has a mild mouthfeel. The fresh fruity taste of Japanese pear is refreshingly light, with a gentle candy-like sweetness and a sourness derived from the sake's natural yeast. The astringent taste behind it reveals the full-bodied umami of rice. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter, with a lingering bitterness that contains a full-bodied umami flavor.
The base is light jun-dai, but the taste is delicious with a fullness of depth in a transparency that gives a soft Japanese pear taste.
Actually, I drank it lazily after opening the bottle, but the sake quality has been stable during that time, and it was easy to drink as an unpretentious jun-dai that is distinctly different from the gorgeous fruity jun-dai that is common in jun-dai.
I had just received some peaches, so I enjoyed it with peaches, and the fruity sweetness of the peaches made me happy🍑.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. I was recommended to try a variety of sake at the end of the tasting (see Nemuchi for details), and I brought it home with me.
