I received this alcohol as a gift from an alumnus + a promotion gift. It is probably quite expensive. I'm glad he knows what I like when he buys Junmai.
The color is an amazing yellow. The smell is like Shaoxing wine, with a sourness and an old, aged smell. When you drink it, it comes in surprisingly easily. The sourness and sweetness are well balanced. The floral aroma spreads on the palate. It tastes like a slightly bitter honey flower. It goes into the tongue without being sticky. Delicious. The alcohol content is 19%, so it gets hot from the back of the throat.
I tried it on the rocks. I was told that this is the recommended way to drink it, and it is indeed lighter when chilled. However, the original rich acidity and sweetness of the sake is well-balanced, so you can drink more and more while feeling the full flavor of the sake. I recommend drinking this on the rocks.
Thanks to the student for choosing a good sake.
