七賢 純米大吟醸 絹の味. 絹の味 (Kinu no Aji) = Silk Taste. From the town of Hakushu, where some of the best quality water comes from in Japan, this Junmai Daiginjo sake was brewed using the underground water flowing from Minami-Alps' Mt. Kaikoma. This water is characterized by an abundance of minerals acquired after many long years of filtering through granite. The delicious water, selected as one of the 100 exquisite waters of Japan, and Yumesansui, brewer’s rice cultivated through collaboration with local farmers, are used together with traditional techniques continuously passed down through generations to produce this smooth-tasting, highly aromatic Japanese sake. This sake's greatest aspect is it's clean, refreshing taste which makes this a wonderful food pairing sake, lovely savoury structure with a hint of anise, making it versatile to match any type of cuisine. Simple yet crisp texture on the palate, this sake can be perfect companion to food. This sake is wonderful during meals and gives off a perfectly balanced fruity aroma, a characteristic of a Daiginjo. Serve at 5 - 15 °C. Rice type: Yumesansui sake rice. Polishing ratio (seimaibuai) (精米歩合): 47%. Sake Meter Value (nihonshudo) (日本酒度): -2. Bottle size: 720 ml., 1800 ml.

18/7/2020. Sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear almost colourless with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet, fragrant rice, touch of aniseed, flowers. Medium sweetness with a tangy bitter/tart side. Moderate body, slight creamy texture soft carbonation. Very fragrant and tasty, liked this more than most sake’s I’ve had.

300ml bottle from Market Hall Wines at Durham Market. Clear slightly yellowy colour, no head and aroma of rice, aniseed, liquorice. Taste is rice, melon, fruity with aniseed notes, and grassy, boozy. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry spicy warming boozy finish. Quite drinkable.

Drank cold. The consistency of the liquid is clear, colorless and transparent. The olfactory intensity is high, and the duration is appreciable. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas finds impressions of vanilla, peach. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of robust and vigorous sake. The aroma on the tongue is rather dry. The body is full. The taste intensity is high, and the taste persistence is good. The taste is very pleasant. The final mouth sensations are ready to drink. On the palate there are notes of pear, apricot, banana, resin, pine, pineapple and licorice.
