sacchaso
This is a newcomer that I bought together with Denshu. The owner of the shop recommended this one to me. The sake brewer seems to have been replaced by a much younger one, but it seems that the sake made by this person suddenly won the top prize at Japan's largest competition, and he is a person to watch. When I looked him up, I found out that his name is Urasato Chikara, and he is of the same generation! It makes me happy and I want to support him. The brand that she has newly launched is called Urasato, and it seems to be rare to find it outside of her hometown.
Now, this sake. At first, hmm? You don't feel anything? At first, it's so refreshing that you might think you can't feel anything. But as you take two or three sips, you can feel the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's like a sake for eating, but the balance of the flavors is incredibly good. So it's hard to give it a unique character, but it's really good anyway. It might be the first time for me to taste it. I don't know if I have enough words to describe it.
My wife loved it so much that we both drank it in no time at all, and it was the fastest we've ever emptied it. It was one of those bottles that you want to have on hand at home. I'm curious about the Daiginjo, and conversely, the Junmaishu--!
