Sagaminada美山錦 純米吟醸
hassy
My landlord gave me a pruned azalea.
My wife arranges it at the entrance.
This spring, starting with plum blossoms, mimosa, peach, and cherry blossoms, flowers have been enriching my heart.
As one gets older, azaleas become even more beautiful.
In other words, the life of flowers is not short.
Tonight's sake was Miyamanishiki, a junmai ginjo from Sagaminada in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The owner of my favorite local sake shop told me that in the past, Kanagawa sake used to be so bad that it was undrinkable, but this sake is different.
I had been turned away from Kanagawa sake by Izumihashi, which I had never been able to get my head around, no matter how many times I drank it.
The owner was right when he said that the sake had a delicious flavor.
The sweet aroma is not bad, although I prefer the fragrance in the mouth rather than the aroma from the sake itself.
Slightly effervescent. Hardness in a good sense, with a greenness like new sake.
It is sweet at the entrance and even bitter at the exit, like the astringent peel of a late-ripening citrus fruit.
A sake that shows many faces in a single sip.
