GINKAI - Departure - Unfiltered raw sake, sake brewer's rice, junmai ginjo
3.5
We purchased "Aomi" and "Ginkai" at the same time at a somewhat premium price at an online sake store. Season, it is a general rule not to purchase at anything other than the regular price. The regular price of Ginkai, 1,595 yen, is a shocking cosmetic price.
It is the first new sake. The mouthfeel is light, but the aftertaste is amazing. The umami that follows it up is perfect as a mid-meal sake. It is said to be made from rice suitable for sake brewing, but the umami that comes up to this point is amazing. I would like to pair it with sashimi from the Sea of Japan, such as the fatty cold yellowtail.
I personally paired it with oyster kimchi, which was exquisite.
However, it is far from the impact of "Nagi" which I drank for the first time. Perhaps it was because the time had passed and the gas was too thin.
Looking forward to the April release of "Kukai!" We hope to enjoy it season after season.
