Hori
We received Kawanakajima Genmai Harmonic Emotion.
This sake is a junmai daiginjo made from 35% polished Yamadanishiki and 49% polished Miyamanishiki at a ratio of 9:1 and aged at low temperature for 6 months.
Until last year, each junmai daiginjo was blended 1:1, but this year the process seems to have changed.
The sake, which is slightly amber in color after aging, has a rich, mildly sweet and umami taste with a savory, caramel and nutty mature taste.
Although the label "Nama-zake" that existed until last year is no longer displayed on the bottle, we are sure that it is Nama-zake. The sense of maturity suggests that it was at least stored fresh.
This is the first time I have had this type of sake, but it is surprisingly delicious. The flavorful taste from the raw aging process gave me a glimpse into the world of sake that I had never experienced before.
