This is my first check-in this month due to temporary sobriety and inventory clearance.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a meeting of sake lovers, and the person who seemed to be the most knowledgeable about sake at the meeting said this was the best sake from Niigata.
Come to think of it, at last year's Sake-no-jin, Hide-san also said that Kanetsuru was delicious....
With that in mind, I bought this sake at Hayafuku Sake Food Store and was given sakekasu (sake lees). I am glad.
Now, first of all, the aroma. It is mild, but it is the aroma of sakekasu. If it were a junmai sake, it would have the aroma of rice, but since it is alky, it also has the aroma of alcohol, so rice + alcohol = sakekasu aroma.
When you drink it, the fruity aroma of green apples spreads. This flavor in a honjozo? I am very happy with the fruity taste in my mouth. The bitter taste and the umami of the rice are also felt while it finishes well.
The poured body has a very fine, fine bubbles. Even after drinking, you don't feel a chilli sensation.
The texture is smooth, soft, smooth and easy to drink.
This is a very delicious wine.
If you like classic sake, please give it a try.
Please don't dismiss a brand just because it is a fire-brewed sake, which is easy to encounter.
This is Niigata sake.
