Kaze no Utaiginjo Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Direct Kumi.

This bottle was purchased at a liquor store in front of Shin Maebashi Station in Gunma Prefecture. The store was quite enthusiastic. This sake is very wallet-friendly, costing about 2,000 yen for a 4-goupe bottle. It is the perfect subject for this year's Niigata Sake Certificate essay exam. However, it is definitely not for sake tasting.

The specifications are perfect: "Junmai Daiginjo", "Unfiltered Nama-nihonjunshu", "Direct Kumi", and "Maikaze" sake rice, which differentiates it from other sake brands in other prefectures. And at around 2,000 yen, I am amazed that they have made it this well.

However, while it is a good gateway to sake, it is not rich and the flavor is too safe, and I hope that those who pass through this gateway will be interested in Gunma's sake. I would like to emphasize here that although sake is the national drink, it is shunned by most people. In our generation, it is "the drink that your seniors crush you with", while younger people want "light" sake.

Now, I have digressed a lot, but I will explain according to the certification test. First of all, the color is average for sake, and the aroma is bananas. However, when you pour it into a cup, there are bubbles, so it will not appear in the test. The taste is firstly bitter. After that, it has a richness that is typical of "nokkumi. Now, this is my own reflection on whether this sake is dry or sweet. In the mouth, it feels medium or slightly sweet. However, when I look at the spec sheet, I see that it is a fine dry sake with a "+4" rating. However, I still cannot judge this sake to be a dry sake, because I find "original sake" to be sweet.
