Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The liquid is clear and transparent, exhibiting a near-crystalline luminescence that exudes purity, which is a hallmark of Junmai sake.
Nose (Aroma):
The aroma is complex yet elegant, characterized by soft hints of green apple and pear, interwoven with the subtle earthiness of steamed rice. Underlying notes of white flowers and a touch of anise provide an additional layer of complexity.
Palate (Taste):
Upon sipping, Seikyo Takehara Junmai immediately envelops the palate with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Delicate fruit undertones of Fuji apple and Asian pear dance harmoniously with umami-rich flavors of steamed rice and subtle creaminess. A balanced acidity ensures that the experience remains light and digestible, never cloying.
Finish:
The finish is long-lasting and smooth with a final embrace of subtle fruit and umami, gradually tapering off but leaving a memorable, slightly mineral trace that invites another sip.
Mouthfeel:
The texture is remarkably silky, lending a luxurious character to this unassuming yet profound beverage.
