[Full specs of Japan's oldest sake brewery 😉 ]
Junmai Daiginjo, ice cold aged, unfiltered raw - all my favorite words in a row, a bottle that is impossible to pass up 😁.
I didn't know this, but it was founded in 1141 and seems to be the oldest existing sake brewery in Japan... Σ
883 years ago❗❗❗
The alcohol aroma is strong, though the strength is not strong.
It is quite dry, and the most impressive thing is the bitterness of the aftertaste.
I didn't notice much acidity and it was probably the most bitter sake I've ever had 😳.
It is said to be aged for one year, so I honestly wish it had more umami and a sense of maturity with hints of incense, but I learned a lot about it, including its history.
Also, it was a very unexpected but good match with sweet and tasty chicken liver stew 😋.
