This time it is Edo Kaijo, which was given to me as a birthday present. It is a junmai ginjo, unfiltered, raw sake brewed by Tokyo Minato Brewery.
This is my first Tokyo sake. I am grateful that I did not have a chance to get it.
I got it from Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta, Tokyo Station.
The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio is 60
Alcohol content is 15
The aroma when the bottle is opened is fruity with a somewhat subdued, clear feeling. It smells sweet, like melon and banana.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, pale yellow color and a smooth, silky texture.
In the sip, the mouthfeel is soft, with a gentle, smart sweetness that is slightly thickened.
In the mouth, the juicy flavor spreads with green apple and melon-like fruitiness, rice flavor, and a hint of refreshing citrus acidity.
After that, a slight astringency and bitterness finish off the taste.
The lingering aftertaste is the sweet umami of the rice.
It has a sense of body, as is typical of the original sake, but it is soft without corners. It is easy to drink, with no clinging sensation on the tongue.
You can enjoy the aroma and flavor as time goes by, and I think I prefer it closer to room temperature.

Good evening, Daddy Takel!
Happy Birthday & Happy First Sake in Tokyo 🎉!
I haven't had Edo Kaijo yet, but it seems to have a good balance of sweetness and bitterness 😋.

Good evening, ma-ki, and thank you for your comment. It has a good balance between a full flavor and a modest fruitiness.

Jay & Nobby, it seems that Edo Kaijo was the first sake I could think of for Tokyo. Thank goodness for that.
