I'm having a hard time finding Zanso Hourai's standard dry Junmai, when is it released every year? Aside from that, I was finally able to buy Mochizuki Shoten PB!
It is probably not very sweet by design to begin with. But the umami is quite robust, and although it is very drinkable, combined with the alcohol, it is easy to drink at a light 13 degrees Celsius.
It is between medium and dry, and its acidity makes it even fruity, so it has a white wine-like flavor.
Among the recent wines I have had, Takezumi's tank-kuchi naojume is very similar! The other two I have had so far are the 2022 Matsunotoshi Omachi Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu and the 2022 Shoryu Horai Kimoto Omachi Tank-guchi Naojime, which also seems to be very similar.
Banana, melon, rummy aroma, strong umami and acidity, weak sweetness and standing aroma...I like this kind of sake...in the end! LOL!
I don't remember much because I drank it all up so fast and after finishing it, I regret why I didn't warm it up... It must have been delicious because it's not a glamorous umami type sake... I'll save it for the next time I drink it...! I will save it for the next time I drink it!
