Garakudai, Tenryohai Sake Brewery, Sado Island, has inherited Niigata's unique light and dry taste, but also has modernity. My father drank most of it, but I was ready to go!
It was a bit fizzy with a bit of a schwash. The aroma was mild and slightly sweet. The water seems a little hard, but is it right? There is a slight ripe banana-like sweetness, followed by an intense sharpness and astringency. It is a good sake, certainly in the tradition of Niigata sake, but clearly different in character from those of Hachikaiyama or Kubota. It has character, but it is not bothersome, and is good as a food sake. Therefore, I felt that it is difficult to find a good accompaniment when drinking alone. Thank you again for the sake tonight!
