I have been curious about this sake for a long time. It is a famous sake made by the Kuroryu Sake Brewery in Fukui Prefecture. Even the name is cool! It's a premium sake that you can't find very often. Looking back on my sake consumption, I don't remember drinking much ginjo-shu. So, with high expectations, I opened the bottle!
The initial aroma was... oh, so fruity! Unlike junmai sake, it has a slightly sharp fruity aroma. It has a sweet aroma characteristic of Yamadanishiki. In the mouth, the refined watery fruity aroma is quickly followed by the spicy and alcoholic aroma characteristic of daiginjos. Very easy to drink! Unlike junmai sake, you do not feel any cloying taste at all. The clear and delicious taste spreads in the mouth. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it goes down smoothly, with a pleasant taste and a refined spiciness. Yum, yum! The more you take the first sip and then the second, the more the deliciousness seems to be enhanced. The more you sip and sip, the more the flavor becomes more pronounced.
Sake is really a profoundly deep cuisine, and even if the same variety of rice is used, the taste can vary so much depending on how it is brewed. Thanks again for the delicious sake we had today!
