Karuizawa Hatsuchi City Yard purchase, 2nd bottle. Asamatake Junmai Ginjo 100% Hitogochi from Nagano Prefecture Refreshing and a little fruity. Some acidity and bitterness. The aroma is subdued (or is it "mild" in the sake sense?). The taste is light, with a hint of water. I thought it could use a little more umami. But when I paired it with Japanese food, I felt more of the aroma and the umami of the rice. It is a wonder. Maybe it was because it was freshly removed from the vegetable room that I felt it was so light. In my opinion, it tastes better when it is at room temperature.
