It is a sake with a characteristic gaseous taste like Naraman. It has a strong bitterness on the finish, but with a light acidity and sweetness, it is a very tasty sake.
You can tell from the first sip that this is the kind of sake you tend to like. It has a sweetness that lingers on the palate with a sour and sweet taste. The aroma is gorgeous.
Although it is a traditional sake, the acidity is low and the flavor is high! I think this is the ultimate food sake. I'd like to try it with nameko mushrooms!
It is said that it is the ultimate food sake, but it is not in the realm of my strike. I drank it at a restaurant in Iwaki before, and it was very good, but I have tried to buy it from time to time, but I can't find the same one.
Until yesterday, I was drinking the same brand, Gohyakumangoku Junmai Ginjo. In comparison, this one is by far my favorite. The sweetness is strong, and the sourness and bitterness are well balanced.
I've always liked the extra Naotora brand, and this is a different version of it. It has almost no sourness, which is also my favorite strain, but I think the extra one is superior in terms of aroma.
It uses a rare sake rice called "Hanamuki". The degree of perfection is high. The sweetness, acidity and bitterness are well harmonized. It is delicious.
Purchased with miles on my card. It has the sourness and sweetness characteristic of Yamahai. There's also an aftertaste like the brewing alcohol that's added. The smell is alcohol. It's bottled the following year after it's made, and shipped another two years later.
