Daishinshu稲の花純米吟醸

...

I bought a bottle of sake in Matsumoto in the fall, put it away in the fridge and completely forgot to drink it. Two months after I bought it, I opened the bottle. It has a rich aroma and a dry, refreshing taste. It has a punchy taste. I paired it with a one-pot dish of turnips with grated radish. Both the nabe and the sake went well and I was pleasantly intoxicated. The rice used for the sake is unknown. Polishing ratio is 55%.
