Sake My Life
Banshu Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo
Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture
(Purchased at Kakinuma Kitasenju)
The aroma is more subdued than that of the same brand.
The introduction is clean and sweet, with a smooth texture on the tongue. It goes in more smoothly than the sake made with Gohyakumangoku.
It reminds one of the balancer-like pentagonal shape of Yamada-Nishiki.
If it had more sharpness, it would sell even better.
I paired it with stew, but it might be better with something a little more refreshing. I think that a sweet sake is complete on its own, but I would like to continue to search for a suitable marriage in the future.
Komatsuna and thick fried bean curd with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes might be a good match. (Additional note).
It is very tasty, so please try it.
