<It's so good, it's like a model of what a sake should be. Just the other day, I had a bottle of "Natsu Shibori" from Kuroryu. This time it's a standard Junmai Ginjo. Whenever there is a seasonal sake, I want to drink it, but I also want to drink a standard sake like this. The aroma is gentle with a complex umami flavor. It is quiet, but clearly high quality. The aroma alone is enough to confirm victory. The mouthfeel is smooth and watery. Then, the beautiful umami, gentle acidity, and faint sweetness spread pleasantly. The taste is accompanied by alcohol, which becomes an aroma and flies to the nose. It ends beautifully with a slight umami bitterness. I want to pair it with sashimi. But not only that, it will go well with any meal. It is a fine sake that is a model of a dry sake that is delicious. If you were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. It's not sweet, but it's gentle, and there's nothing cloudy in its eyes. So cool! Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images and such. If you'd like, you can search for "korune sake" or come from the link in my profile section.
