Ginjo sake from Saga prefecture, Japan.
Muroka means sake is unfiltered.
Nama means sake is unpasteurised.
Junmai means there are no distilled alcohol added.
Ginjo means polishing ratio of rice is 60% or less.
Pronounced aromas of melon, watermelon, peach and bubble gum.
Ginjo aromas and subtle umami flavors.
Acid was higher and body was medium +.
Overall impression was very lively!
Unfortunately, the pairing wasn't as good as we hoped.
I guess sake had too much flavor to have with raw fish.
Thinking that stronger flavor would do better with this sake, we tried it with chocolate (simply because it was there), half as learning experience and half as thrill.
The pairing actually wasn't that bad.
Next day, we had this sake with vinegar marinated food. The pairing was much better.
