I got a bottle of Tanaka Rokugo's nama-shu, which I have been longing for since I had it last year, so I immediately opened the bottle and re-lived the excitement of that time: โผ๏ธ
When poured into a glass, the aroma is understated and elegant, like white peaches or Japanese pears โจ.
The slight gasiness and freshness that is typical of nama-shu heightens the sense of anticipation ๐.
I have the impression that this time the ginjo aroma is more gentle than the muscat-like nuance I felt before.
The first sensation in the mouth is the exquisite harmony between the fresh rice flavor and the pleasant acidity that tightens it up.
The smooth mouthfeel is so clear that it is hard to believe that the rice polishing ratio is 65%, and the fact that it is free of any cloying flavors is a true testament to the quality of the sake.
It has a soft texture that seems to spread roundly on the tongue, and a dry finish that quickly clears up at the throat.
I found myself almost halfway through the bottle (lol). It's exactly the kind of flavor that makes you love it more and more with every glass. โผ๏ธ
Tanaka Rokuugo is a great sake that never disappoints. The balance of this sake is so good that I might end up drinking too much ๐
