I wanted to visit Uemo Shoten.
Purchased the store's special order Nakadaya Usu-Nigori that was recommended to me.
Sato Sake Brewery brews Koshu Umebayashi in Saitama Prefecture. The new Nakadaya brand was launched by Mariko Sato, the first female toji (master brewer) in the prefecture. The label does not say, but a quick search reveals that it is a junmai ginjo made from 60 polished rice from the sake Musashi brewery. This is a troubling story.
No nigori-ness? The color of the sake is clear. Aroma of mellow fruits like apple, pineapple, and dried figs. In addition to the koji aroma, the taste was a little peculiar. Voluminous sweetness, well handled, and a slight richness lingers in the aftertaste.
