Narutotai Kei Daiginjo, Honke Matsuura Shuzo

[ Narutotai Kei Daiginjo ]

First time trying sake from Tokushima! 慶 on the label stands for celebration. The brewery is located in Naruto city and is the oldest in Tokushima. “Tai” stands for sea bream, and they typically feature the fish on their labels (though not this one).

Strangely enough, this had hints of umami for me despite the polishing. I found out their sake is known for being rich with umami. Had it cold but I preferred it as it warmed to room temperature. Slightly sweet on the palate & silky texture as described. Would pair it with fish.
