しんたろ
This is the first Nabeshima I've had since I had a Jungin hidden sake before. The aroma was banana-like and cream bread-like as soon as it was poured into the glass, but after a little while, I didn't notice it anymore. Is this the ginjo aroma? I wonder what it is. It has a firm umami flavor, which is typical of Yamada-Nishiki. I read that it has a fine gasiness, but I couldn't tell without being told.
Alone, the bitterness lingered on both ends of the tongue, but when paired with Hue-type salami, it became surprisingly mild. The bitterness disappeared and the sweetness spread softly to the center of the tongue. I was surprised at how much the flavor impression changed.
Yamada-Nishiki 50%, Sake meter -1.
