From the Nate Sake Brewery in Wakayama Prefecture...
Kurogyu Junmai-shu Omachi 720
NATE SHUZOTEN, which brews Wakayama Prefecture's famous sake "Kurogyu", originally produces only a small amount of sake made from "Omachi", but this is a limited edition sake with even smaller quantities shipped!
The "70" in the name refers to the rice polishing ratio.
This junmai sake is made from 100% "Omachi" rice polished to 70% and has a slightly lower alcohol content (14%)!
The aroma is slightly subdued and refreshing, and the mouthfeel is smooth.
It has a mild flavor typical of "Omachi" from "Kurogyu", a firm acidity, and a pleasant astringent aftertaste...the balance is good.
It has a solid drinking experience, and the low alcohol content makes it hard to get tired of drinking it!
It can be enjoyed at various temperatures: chilled for its crispness, room temperature, or lukewarm for its sweetness and mildness... It is also a perfect food sake.
