Abe Silver Lot vol.1-3.
Junmai ginjo orikigarami nama sake.
This is the first lot of the new Junmai Ginjo Silver, and lots 1-3 are made with Gohyakumangoku produced by Mr. Tohei Yoshizawa, and have a slightly lower alcohol content of 13%.
The top aroma is reminiscent of apples and pears, and as one can imagine from the fact that the cork flew open when the bottle was uncorked, there is a pleasant sense of shrieking gas.
The supernatant is soft on the palate, with a clean sweetness and a broad umami flavor, combined with a firm acidity that gives the impression of dryness.
The dryness is balanced out by the sweetness and umami that increases as the orikomi (a drier, more balanced taste) is added!
