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: a bit of fleshy sweetness. Fruit notes taste more round and juicy, chocolate notes have more heft. Typical sweetness for modern styles. Some people will read "3" as dry.
LightFullMedium: a bit of richness or creaminess, heft, more flavor intensity, more presence, sometimes higher alcohol or sweetness. A lot of namazake sits here.
SoftAcidicAbove-average acidity, an important part of this sake's character, but nowhere near sour/tart. Lift, refreshing. When paired with higher sweetness, it creates a juicy, ripe impression.
SubtleAromaticVery aromatic: bursting with ginjo-ka (fruit, florals), very often filling the room--or at least the table. Aromatic intensity is core to this sake's character.
Pairs with
The brewery recommends with bright, early spring fare- Mediterranean dishes featuring olive oil, fresh herbs, and citrus, especially. But I think the word is natural sweetness + delicate umami, like you'd find in sweet raw shrimp, langoustine, scallop and lobster. This number could stand up to sukiyaki, but I'd put it to the test with Peruvian ceviche amarillo.
Guava nectar meets chantilly cream, presented on a gilded platter with hands shrouded in ethereal, white silk gloves.
Elegant, with a touch of tropical sweetness, Nabeshima's New Moon shiboritate nama genshu (fresh pressed unpasteurized, undiluted sake) is at once elegant and powerful, loaded with presence, generous in its sencha-like umami. Unusually deep, round, orangey fruit notes make up its profile, for those who love their boisterous, expressive junmai ginjo nama genshu's.
