The aroma of this sake is delicate, with a fruity sweetness reminiscent of melon, strawberries, and grapes. As you take in the gorgeous scent, it sets the stage for what awaits: an elegant entry with pronounced fruity flavours. The balance between acidity and bitterness is just right, creating a mouthfeel that swirls with complexity. The finish is mellow, leaving you craving more. Shuryū, translating to "mainstream," represents Tatenokawa's commitment to making this Daiginjō their benchmark. Whether enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, it's an exciting experience to compare how the flavours evolve. It becomes mellower and slightly sweeter at room temperature, with earthy undertones. Tatenokawa consistently delivers exceptional sake!
Where did this description come from? Certainly no Japanese brewery or reviewer would think to recommend this for blue cheese.
