marumaruo
Black label with gold foil stamping. The appearance is cool. I wanted to pair it with something crisp because I have char-grilled chicken thighs today.
My favorite liquor store selects and sends me this. I enjoy the unintended type and am happy to discover something new.
The rice used is Akita Sake Komachi, a sake brewing rice produced in Akita Prefecture, and the rice is polished to 50% for the koji rice and 55% for the kake rice. The alcohol level is 15 degrees Celsius and it is fire-aged.
It has a sharp, crisp flavor with a nice smooth ginjo aroma. It goes well with a simple charcoal grill and yuzu pepper. It has a sweet and sour taste like a banana.
It is a slow sipping sake. Usually, I drink it easily because of the gassy and lactic taste. I have to order the next one 🤔.
