The New Year's Day sake was not good and I forgot to take a picture lol. I bought this one at Takashimaya in Shinjuku on New Year's Day, where Tatenokawa had a sales event starting on the 3rd.
MUGEN" stands for the six "nothings": no filtration, no watering, no heating, leaving natural bubbles (filling without bubbling), bottling on the same day of the first tank (no time delay), and making sake with no self-deliberate effort.
This year is the Year of the Dragon🐲, so I bought a bottle of Ryu-ryoku, which I had tasted before and enjoyed.
I opened this one on New Year's Day.
The first aroma is fruity and sweet like muscat.
When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness and moderate acidity.
It slowly finishes with a hint of spiciness on the tip of the tongue.
The sales staff at the Shinjuku Takashimaya sake department told us that the sake was once-fired, but it would probably taste even better if it were unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
It was quite delicious 🍶.
A drink that lets you enjoy the flavor of rice and acidity from the mouth.
