Sake Brewer] Yoshinogawa Corporation (Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture) Type of Sake] Ginjo-shu Rice] 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Niigata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio] 55 Alcohol percentage] 15 Sake Beverage] Glass Sake Beverage] +7 Acidity] 1.2 Yeast] Undisclosed (estimated to be Association No. 9 or in-house yeast) Aroma] +1.0 (green apple, steamed rice,) Appearance] Crystal [Taste] [Mouthfeel Body: 1.5 Acidity: 1.5 Sweetness: 1.0 Low sugar content but sweetness derived from alcohol Umami: 1.5 Bitterness: 1.5 Lingering] Short. Pleasant bitterness. Impression: Niigata-style light and dry. The aroma is subdued, with a mix of green apple and rice aromas, slightly accentuated by the clearness of the arugula. The sweetness and bitterness of the alcohol can be felt well due to the low level of sugar and acidity. The umami, however, is also present, leaving the impression of fullness without being too refreshing. I felt it was like a classical Niigata light dry sake. Repeat Score] 2.0
