This sake is from Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture.
I visited Sakaiminato the summer before last. I couldn't see the Kitaro Museum by a hair's breadth, but I walked Kitaro Road in the rain. I think I bought a bottle of Kitaro sake there, too.
I also heard that Wakana Matsumoto, an actor I've recently been really interested in, is from the neighboring city of Yonago.
The color is slightly yellow.
The slight sweetness is wrapped up by the firm umami of rice and sharp spiciness, and disappears in the back of the throat leaving a pleasant tingling sensation. Ah, it is truly pleasant!
How about if you heat it up?
Sweetness, spiciness, and umami quickly come together.
Then, the sweet umami swells up with a bang. The aroma of ginjo (ginjyo) blows through the air.
Below that, there is a pungent spiciness that gradually takes hold at the back of the tongue. This is combined with the sweetness to broaden the range of flavors.
The spiciness and sweetness are well integrated with the taste of the fish.
It is best served slightly lukewarm.
However, the spiciness at room temperature is also hard to ignore.
