Ibaraki Pref. Tsukuba City. Urasato Sake Brewery, a limited partnership.
Urasato Junmai Ginjo Hon Nama
I bought this at a liquor store in the southern part of Osaka, where the owner is the same age as the Urasato master brewer and a good friend of mine.
Unfortunately, the owner was not there, but since this was my first Urasato, the mother of the store keeper asked the owner over the phone if this was a good one for me as an introduction to Urasato.
We had it with cold sake.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The nose is melon, cucumber, and slightly citrusy, with a hint of sweetness and acidity.
The mouthfeel is fresh and juicy, expanding and expanding with the acidity felt on the tongue.
The palate is voluptuous and full of acidity, with an initial sense of richness and flavor that seems concentrated for a moment, followed by a bitter bitterness that is very crisp and full. The bitter aftertaste lingers for a while, followed by a crisp finish. It is interesting that after finishing the drink, one feels a sense of lightness and refreshment.
The sake rice is Hitanishiki, and the water, koji mold, and yeast are all brewed in Ibaraki.
