Yu V
This is a bottle that claims to be a slightly out of the ordinary ordinary sake. If you have heard of it before, you are a master. It is the "Koryu" of the Takachiyo Shuzo brewery!
There is another sake in Gunma Prefecture that has such a spirit. The secret is that it is made by "Nagai Honke Corporation" in Numata, and not by "Nagai Shuzo. I do not know how it is made, but it is a "Fukuro Shibori" method. The label only states the alcohol content.
The aroma is a fresh aroma of alsobe, and the coloring is clearly discernible. Taste is slightly sour. The rice polishing ratio may be low. Basically, it is dry, +5 or so, with a touch of bitterness that disappears quickly. The umami (flavor) is a little low, but this is what makes it easy to drink.
