Mie Pref. Matsusaka City. Shinra Sake Brewery Co.
Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Sake, undiluted.
Purchased at a sake shop in Tsu City Station, where the brewer himself took us on the way back from the Mie Sake Event.
It is a rare sake with a very small production.
We will drink it cold.
When I looked closely, I noticed something floating around in the bottle, probably the lees of amino acid clumps.
The color is clear and dark golden, like amber.
The top aroma is mushrooms, humus, and a slight roasted, aged aroma derived from malted rice.
On the palate, the aroma on the nose is complex, with an axial strength that is typical of the original sake and a sense of nostalgic old, withered sake, with a mild acidity that would have been sharp without the sweetness, and a slight astringency and a slight umami taste.
After swallowing, there is a skittish spiciness, and the sense of maturity is gone, which is a strange sensation.
When I heated it up, it went from amino acid sweetness and mellow umami to a sharp dry aftertaste.
This is a sake for connoisseurs. I learned a lot from it.
