Kairyou Shinko Tokubetsu Junmaishu Aratama 改良信交 特別純米酒 あら玉

Brewery : Wada Sake Brewery
Area : Japan > Yamagata
Sake Type : Tokubetsu Junmaishu
Alcohol : 15.5%
Price :
Score : 84 by MoIppai (24/04/2011)

This tokubetsu junmaishu (特別純米酒) from Wada Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture has a Nihonshudo of +3 (so probably fairly dry) and made with Kairyoushinko (改良信交) rice polished down to 60%.

The bottle has a nice rough papery label with a screw cap that says "Delicious Sake" - good to know.

It's a yellowy, pale sake in the glass with a light, sweet sake smell.

On the palate it's a little sharp and a little dry, with quite a long acidic aftertaste.

On the aftertaste there's a very faint, vague taste of white chocolate or something, and it also has a slightly rough, like a "chalky" feel too.

Overall this is drinkable, but nothing special. Fairly forgettable.
