kiko
The first new sake of the year is Fuji Taikan from Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, another brand of Morishima Shuzo, whose Morishima is very popular these days.
It has a melon-like greenish sweetness and a refreshing taste typical of new sake. The latter half of the taste is dry and moderately dry. It is a delicious contrast to the mellow autumn sake. We can expect more new sake to come out in the future.
