Tasted Sawanotsuru Junmai Hara Sake and Koshu-brewed Umeshu (plum wine).
It was the first time for me to taste the sake. It was dry and tasted like it would go well with food.
The latter was very sweet with almost no sugar. It has a refreshing aftertaste.
Purchased at the Sawanotsuru Museum in Nishigo, Nada, Kobe.
This special junmai sake is made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The rice polishing ratio is a modest 70%, but the taste is clean, elegant, and free of cloying flavors. Perhaps this is due to the high quality of the sake rice.
The richness of the rice is not so strong.
It seems to go well with any dishes.
Thank you for the sake.
