Kenshin Junmai Ginjo Aiyama Namazake 1800ml [Requires Refrigerated Shipping]
[Kenshin Junmai Ginjo Aiyama Namazake]
Elegant like wasanbon, with a clear aftertaste.
This sake pursues a more refined drinking experience while leveraging the elegant sweetness unique to Aiyama.
While expressing the high-quality, mellow sweetness reminiscent of wasanbon sugar that Hyogo-grown "Aiyama" possesses, this year's rendition is designed to be less sweet than last year's.
When you take a sip, the rich sweetness characteristic of Aiyama gently spreads, accompanied by a pleasant fruity aroma reminiscent of mild berries.
For the yeast, Kenshin uncharacteristically uses No. 6 yeast.
The classical feel and fresh expression harmonize, resulting in an elegant and refreshing taste.
As you continue to drink, the beautiful sweetness characteristic of Aiyama gradually fades away, leaving a lingering, gentle aftertaste, maintaining a pleasant drinking experience until the very end.
Instead of a flamboyant sharpness, you can enjoy the delicate charm of a gentle and beautiful aftertaste that slowly unravels.
Another unique charm of this sake is how its character gradually changes over a few days to about a week after opening, in addition to its taste right after opening.
Please also enjoy the flavors that evolve with the passage of time.
