Special Junmai Sake Matsubara-source
This sake is made by the Kinai Shuzo brewery in Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture, and is brewed using hot spring water from Naruko Onsen, one of the three most famous hot springs in Oshu, also in Miyagi Prefecture.
It has a mild sweetness and a slightly sour aftertaste. It is not flashy, but has a noble taste.
The most notable feature of this sake is its smoothness. I am not sure if it is the effect of onsen water brewing, but it is different from ordinary water and has a soft and smooth texture that is enjoyable to the palate.
This is a sake that you can savor at a leisurely pace, letting yourself feel as comfortable as if you were soaking in a hot spring. It is good.
