Nabeshima Special Junmai Sake, Yamadanishiki from Yoshikawa.

One of Kanese Sake Shop's August hanpushu bottles included the famous Nabeshima. The sake rice is Yamadanishiki produced in Yoshikawa, a special A district in Hyogo Prefecture. The color is clear and colorless, with a fruity, muscat-like aroma on the nose. The rice polishing ratio is 60%. It tends to be slightly dry, and the taste is tight. There are no peculiarities at all, and although there is a slight bitterness at first, it does not linger, making it a clean and beautiful sake. There is a slight fizziness. Sake from the west is said to be hard water, but this is soft water.
