Nagatoro's top-grade Junmai Daiginjo
There is also a Shizukuri version.
The aroma is apple-like and a bit more subdued than expected.
There is a faint scent of grapes, but it is not as fresh as the Junmai Ginjo, and smells a little bitter.
The taste is clear, sweet and umami, just like a daiginjo.
Personally, I think the bitterness is just a little bit too strong.
I know some people don't mind it, but it bothers me, so I can't drink it comfortably.
Objectively, I think it's a reasonably good sake, but it's not for me personally.
