Today I would like to introduce Kubota, a sake from the Chuetsu region of Niigata Prefecture that was booming 30 years ago.
Many people know the name, but it is quite well distributed now, and this time I was able to buy it at my local supermarket for 1,480 yen for junmai ginjo.The blue bottle is a good indication that it is light and dry by its color.
This color is nice.I quite like it as a bottle color.
Now let’s open it.I guess there is almost no aroma.There is a faint aroma of koji (malted rice), but it is not so strong to the nose, giving the impression of an elegant sake.
I pour it in.There is no gas.The color is calm.
Sweetness 1/5
Umami 3/5
Sourness 2/5
Fruity 2/5
Balance 4/5
