On my way home from work, I passed by a temporary store as I was changing stations. There I happened to find a bottle of Nihonmori Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake. It was the cheapest price I had ever seen for Junmai Daiginjo! I bought it on impulse! I will have a sip. It smells like regular sake 😉. When poured, it is clear and has a yellowish tinge. The spiciness and acidity jumped in at once. It's just right. ‼️ The flavor is robust and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. With a time lag, I felt a creamy sheen from the center to the back of my tongue, and an astringent taste appeared further back on the tongue 😎. There is no complexity in the flavor, but each flavor is simple and fully enjoyable. I prefer it when it is well chilled as it gets a little peculiar when the temperature settles down 😋. and on the third day after opening the bottle, the acidity appeared first, followed by the complex sweet and spicy flavors. It is not heavy. Looks like I should have let it sit for a bit 😉.
