Kawatsuru Junmai Ouseto
This is a standard sake that has been renewed this R4BY (2022 brewing year), and is a true "Kawatsuru" sake!
This junmai sake is made from 100% "Ooseto," Kagawa Prefecture's representative sake brewing rice, which has been grown locally for many years!
The major point of this renewal is that the sake is now made using the "Namo Hashiwake Brewing" method!
The major point of this renewal is that the sake is now made using the "ikakemaki-style" brewing method!
The top aroma is fresh and smooth.
In the mouth, you can feel the firm and robust rice flavor that is typical of "Oceto," while at the same time it has a clean Junmai Ginjo-like quality and a characteristic fruitiness that reminds one of matured melon.
The umami and acidity are nicely intertwined and well-balanced, with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste and a good amount of astringency, making it a mellow and crisp bottle.
It can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures and is perfect as a food wine, and can be enjoyed with a wide range of dishes from seafood sashimi from the Seto Inland Sea to well-seasoned dishes.
