I am in Wakayama on vacation. There are many great sake in Kishu, but this is a classic one that is personally one of the "sake that comes to mind when I think of Wakayama. At the entrance, a thick sweet aroma reminiscent of mizuame is layered behind a darker yogurt and a faint aged aroma reminiscent of rice. In the mouth, the thick, sweet, matured aroma felt at the entrance is followed by the rich umami of rice. At the same time, a firm, dry acidity quickly overtakes it. The sweetness of the rice, the rich umami, the moderate ripe aroma, and the crisp acidity. It is different from "a great sense of balance" in a good sense, but overall it has a great depth and breadth that shows all of the "rice". This time it is a stand-alone sake, but really it is a great sake that shows its charm only during a meal 🍶. Delicious ✨✨
