Denshokiku - Ultra-limited unfiltered unpasteurized sake - Junmai Daiginjyo / Yamadanishiki 50
3.0
Expectations were too high, so I felt it was lacking.
Purchased at a somewhat premium price from an online store. The time of purchase was also considerably off from the time of sale, so concerns exist that the store's storage conditions were poor.
The aroma is mellow and gorgeous. The mouthfeel is fresh and citrusy with a well-balanced lingering bitterness. Personally, I would like to see more of the lingering umami of Yamadanishiki and a touch more gas.
It should be served chilled in a wine glass. It is really easy to drink. It would go well with grilled fish.
Personally, I find it hard to understand the value of "super limited". It doesn't seem to have anything outstanding compared to other brands.
