Chizu
100% Miyamanishiki, 65% polished rice
Alcohol content 18%!
Niigata G9 yeast
The yellow color is a bit dark and gaseous. The aroma is subdued, and although it has acidity, it has a strong sweetness, contrary to the dry label due to its umami.
The temperature suddenly dropped this afternoon, so I decided to have the first (probably) autumn harvest of the year, although I still have some summer sake in the fridge. I enjoyed it cold, but it was a junmai sake with a high alcohol content and it was cold, so I heated it up and found that the acidity increased and it felt a bit chilly in my mouth... This sake is definitely better cold! So we went back to cold sake to finish.
