Flavor profileEach scale is our tasting-room read on where this bottle sits between two extremes — dry to sweet, light to full-bodied, soft to acidic, and subtle to aromatic. These are subjective, however, and will shift with food, serveware & temp.
DrySweetBalanced dry: reads as dry, with a little bit of softness, or maybe a fruit/brown sugar note that tempers the impression of dryness. Most people will read "2" as dry.
LightFullLight: lean and easy, mellow, has enough flavor and umami to give it character but generally really easy to drink. This is the most common weight for junmai ginjo/ginjo sake.
SoftAcidicSoft: the most common degree of acidity for sake. A little bit of acidity to give it structure and keep the flavor refreshing, but acidity isn't an important part of its identity.
SubtleAromaticSubtle aroma: if you stick your nose in, you'll get a few quiet notes of fruit, grains, nuts & rice. Aroma isn't a big part of this sake's character. An aromatically quiet sake can still have a powerful flavor, though.
In a prefecture famous for full bodied, sweet sake, Daisekkei is a champion of refreshing, crisp, and earthy flavors.
This Hiyaoroshi shows refreshing yet deep notes of torched grapefruit, muscat, mineral water, pear, vanilla, fresh corn and applesauce, finishing with a mineral zing. A really interesting one for folks who love their sake dry, mineral and complex.
“I devote my life to making sake and always think about sake first. I personally control every aspect of the brewing to ensure the whole process runs happily. Our brewing policy is to do nothing special, but be honest and sincere.”
-Toji Mamoru Nagase
