Sharaku Junmai Ginjo Banshu Yamadanishiki, a famous sake from Fukushima, purchased through a lottery at a limited edition sake shop The aroma is not that strong, about standard. The mouthfeel is very round and soft. Not at all the typical sake alcohol sensation. Very mellow, mellow flavor and taste. I saw a review earlier that said it has a banana taste, but the aftertaste is more like a melon taste. It is not at all unpleasant because it is not too gorgeous and goes away without lingering on the palate. I think this is one of the top 3 sakes I've had as a beginner (though I haven't had many)! It has the best balance, a fruitiness that is not dull, and a sake that has no alcohol at all but a crisp aftertaste! This is really delicious. It was too good with the poke, which I made by mixing tuna and avocado with soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, and garlic! As expected of Sharaku. Thank you very much. Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.4, Alcohol 16%.
