This is the first time for Nabeshima's Classic Series. Special Junmai sake made from Yamada Nishiki.
The aroma is modest at first, with a hint of fresh fruitiness at the back of the nose.
In the mouth, the dry, elegant acidity is accompanied by a deep umami flavor in a clear, transparent mouthfeel. The sharpness remains quiet and gentle.
The taste is dry and classical. I've only had modern Nabeshima so far, so it's a long way from the "refined and sweet" Nabeshima taste, but the calm umami and its beautiful sense of depth is wonderful ✨.
I have had the modern Nabeshima, which has a "refined and sweet" flavor, but it is far from the "refined and sweet" Nabeshima I have had in the past. （I always end up reflecting on the same thing 😆.)
