I thought I had paid attention to the label warning against foaming, but when I opened the bottle, I still gushed. The first taste on the palate was sweet, followed by a refreshing bitterness. It is truly a grapefruit.
The seller is Kuretake Shuzo in Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, and the manufacturer is Kinegawa in Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture. This sake was included in a drinking set as a Kashima sake. It tastes orthodox. Compared to the sake we have compared so far, it does not have a strong personality.
It is a bit strong in alcohol content and not very sweet. Note that the following post is from a Junmai sake tasting at the HAMA BAR at Hizenhama Station, so it is possible that I am misinterpreting.
It tastes like a junmai sake from Kyushu, with the whole rice flavor, including sweetness and a tangy taste. The label is a message to drink it with a glass of wine.
At Kyushu Sake Brewery Open @ Hakata Ekimae Plaza. According to the booth staff, there are only two breweries in Kagoshima that make sake.
It tastes sweet and stays in your mouth for a while. Delicious.
