The second sake we tasted was:

Wakatake JunmaÏ Dai Ginjo Retro Label

Rice: Homarfuji (grown in Yaizu City)

Milled down to 50%

Yeast: Shizuoka NEW-5

Alcohol: 16%

Dryness: +5

Acidity: 1.5

Amino acids: 0.9

Clarity: Very clear

Color: Almost transparent

Aroma: Discreet, difficult to catch. Fruity. Faint pineapple

Taste: Dry but silky and fruity attack backed with Junmai petillant. Dry banana and liquorice.

Pleasantly lingers for a while on the palate. Surprisingly becomes drier with food with a big comeback of the Junmai petillant and appearance of coffee beans.

Comments: very elegant and easy to drink! Probably best enjoyed on its own. Might become a habit!
