Rokujyuyosu Junmai Ginjo Summer Jungin.

Rokujyuyosu Junmai Ginjo Summer Jungin.

This is the first Jungin sake we have received every year as part of our Nagasaki hometown tax payment, but this summer is the first time we have had a Jungin sake. According to the spec sheet, it is made with Yamadanishiki and the rice polishing ratio is 50%, which puts it in the daiginjo category. The alcohol content is 15%, which is easy to drink. The aroma has a slight fruity ginjo aroma that is not overpowering, and the color is slight and indistinguishable from the color of the bottle. The taste is spicy, sweet, and umami at the same time, with a slight sourness in the background to tighten the flavor. It is almost comparable to Yamagata Prefecture's Jyushidai.
