When I was in Mie Yokkaichi this month, the owner of an izakaya (which offers an amazing number and brand of sake) told me about a sake he had recently recommended. I happened to come across it this week and bought it. The aroma reminded me of fresh greenery, and after taking a sip, the sweetness tightened up (instead of spreading out like other sake) and disappeared with the deep umami of the rice. It was one of the most notably delicious sakes I've had recently!
Strong aroma reminiscent of melon and flowers, and strangely enough, when you put it in your mouth, there was no sweetness at all in the aroma, but rather a strong pungency.
It had a gorgeous apple-like aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the elegant sweetness spread out and seemed to disappear with a tangy, spicy feeling underneath. It also went well with rape blossoms with vinegared miso.
It was sweet from the aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spread out and seemed to cut off at the end with the spiciness you could feel on the tip of your tongue!
I was attracted to Watanobune and ordered it at an izakaya (Japanese bar). It was a good taste of rice and spiciness,
Personally, as someone who loves and expects Watanobune, I felt that it would have been better if there was one more flavor at the end.
I came across a sake made with Wataribune from Saint ⁉︎ I had high expectations for it because Saint was recommended to me at a tavern I was familiar with and I thought it was delicious and bought it...,
I had high expectations for this sake because it was recommended to me by a tavern I know and I thought it was delicious....
Comparison of Bunraku. The aroma was light, and in the mouth it had a well-balanced taste of sweetness, umami, and acidity with a clean aftertaste. The difference between the two was that the unfiltered nama was stronger in flavor, while the junmai ginjo was lighter. Personally, I found the unfiltered raw to be uniquely delicious!
