We enjoyed the aged sake in the basement of the liquor store.
All of them are mellow sake with a lot of flavor.
It was a day when I learned the depth of Japanese sake.
I usually get the Special Honjozo, but unusually there was a Junmai Daiginjo on the shelf, so I got a little excited.
Hmmm...it's a little rough around the edges.
I'd be more satisfied with a special honjozo.
I bought this because it was recommended for wine lovers.
It is true that the sweetness of the rice is suppressed and it is like a white wine.
It is refreshing and does not interfere with the taste of food.
Speaking of Hakkisan, the standard sake and special honjozo that enriches everyday drinking is Hakkisan, but when I heard that the new Junmai Daiginjo was in stock this summer, I drank it right away.
It has the Hakkisan flavor as it is, but it's even cooler and drier. It doesn't have much of the sweetness of a Daiginjo.
I guess it's a rare brew.
I didn't see a registration, so I added a new one.
It has a round taste with no stickiness.
I can see why it's marked lukewarm or room temperature.
I drank it cold today, so I'll serve it early tomorrow.
A vintage junmai sake brewed in 2014 and aged in a low tone bottle. A complex flavor in a clean, yet complex way. The label says it's recommended to be served warm, but it's also good cold.
