A blend of Asahi No. 4 and Gohyakumangoku.
Dry with umami may be rare. It is a fluffy sake that is hard to believe it is +8 because of the fact that it is a pure sake. On the other hand, the alu feeling does not come. I think it is excellent.
The name is written "Saikaze" and reads "Narai". Neither the percentage nor the rice used for sake is disclosed. It is a fall-aged sake.
It has a slightly peculiar smoky flavor and a complex aroma and sharpness.
You can tell where I drank it lol.
This is an old sake brewed in 1999. The aroma is old wine, but it's not as sharp as I thought it would be. Too interesting.
I have always liked Aozora, but this is my first time to try Miyamanishiki.
It has a subtle acidity and a strong umami flavor that is not typical of Aozora, in a good way.
It is also made with Kyoto's sake rice, "Shuku". It has a fresh fruity aroma and a good balance of richness, sharpness, and umami.
It is honestly delicious.
