Masuizumi純米大吟醸 SUPECIAL
寅之助
I had this sake at a sake bar in Toyama under the direct management of Masuda Shuzo.
I've seen the concept of sake matured in wine barrels a few times, but this was my first time to taste it.
I'm sure you'll be surprised at how much the aroma changes just by using a different place to age the wine🤯There's the aroma of the barrels in the nose, and of course there's the sweet and sour aroma of white wine reminiscent of Niagara, which should not be present in the sake itself, because the barrels were used to make wine.
In addition, it has a mellow aroma reminiscent of old wine because it has been aged, and I felt that it was an aged wine with a strong flavor like Shaoxing wine.
I personally prefer sake aged in wine barrels to sake brewed with wine yeast🍷.

I visited Toyama for the first time to celebrate my brother's wedding.
I wanted to visit Masuda Shuzo's brewery, but they didn't accept us because it was the off-season, so we went to "Saiseki", a sake bar under the direct management of the brewery, to compare the drinks☺️.
This is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake only available at Saiseki. The aroma is a gentle ginjo aroma, and although it is only 17% alcohol, it is fruity like a green apple and has an elegant sweetness. There is no miscellaneous taste and it is elegant.
You can't help but simply say, "Delicious! It was a sake that made me simply say, "Delicious! When I think of the Toji people drinking this freshly pressed sake and feeling how good or bad it is, it makes me feel very special😊.

Sake drunk by the Emperor during his visit to Toyama
Very delicate and fragile aroma
The sweetness and umami are light and soft.
There is no acidity at all, and it disappears smoothly with a clear aftertaste like water.

Sake aged in wine barrels
The bottle looks like a high-bottomed wine bottle.
The aroma is like grapes with sourness.
A strong acidity and a gentle sweetness underneath.
The first sourness leads you to the aftertaste.

Laid down for about a quarter of a century.
It has a beautiful golden color and a milder aroma than expected.
It has a rich sweetness and a burnt bitterness that spreads slowly, and although the bitterness remains a little, it disappears quickly.

It is interesting that the light taste of sake and the complex aroma of whiskey live together.

A light, delicate touch of deliciousness! In the sake tasting course, I was told to try this one first, and I was satisfied. You won't be able to appreciate it after drinking other drinks. The ginjo aroma was gorgeous and elegant. I'd be so excited to get a glass of this on the first drink of a good party!
