Kab
Yamato Shizuku also has many varieties, but it is standard, fire-roasted.
It has a mild banana-like aroma.
The sweetness is preceded by a fruity, lychee-like acidity, and then the spiciness rises with a hint of rice flavor. The spiciness is predominant, and it is sharp and clean.
Even at 40°C, the citrus sweetness and acidity remain almost unchanged (the freshness is gone).
Overall, it is a light and dry sake, but not classic, with a modern fruity flavor. It is relatively light and acidic, making it easy to pair with meals. The price is inexpensive for a jungin sake, and it can be stored at room temperature until opened, making it suitable for reserve sake, especially in summer and autumn.
It is not flashy by any means, but it is easy to obtain anywhere in Japan thanks to its technical ability to simply produce sake in the desired direction and its well-informed official website.
