"Kubota Senjyu 久保田 千寿 吟醸", 720-ml-Flasche, Zufallsfund bei einem koreanischen Lebensmittelgeschäft in Schmargendorf. Mein erster Sake seit Jahren und ohne Vergleichsmöglichkeiten verkostet. - Leicht und frisch aber doch von mittlerer Intensität, schön trocken mit zarten Anklängen an Frucht (Melone), einer Spur von Holz und sehr dezenter Restsüße. - Angenehmer Essensbegleiter.

720ml. my fist Saké ever. absolutely clear in the glass, the nose is very fruity (pears, fresh apples, melon, probably banana). The Saké starts dry, fruity, clean. The main part is very fresh and full with fresh fruit aromas like green apples, melons, just like the nose. At the end there appears a bit warming alcohol. The fruityness stays very long till the end of the long aftertaste.
--> very interesting!!
