Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute Yamahai Aiyama Muroka Nama Genshu 2018(720ml) 農口尚彦研究所 山廃愛山 無濾過生原酒 2018 Vintage CLASSIC

a refreshingly tart fragrance evokes fresh strawberries, leading to a first sip that balances clean sweetness and umami with gentle, yogurt-like acidity, lending elegance to the palate. aging adds layers of complexity - cotton candy, nuts, and subtle fermented butter - while soft, rich creaminess is tempered by mineral nuances and astringency, resulting in a long, crisp, and satisfying finish.

綿菓子、ナッツのような熟成由来の複雑なアロマ。柔らかくリッチでクリーミーな甘味ののった口当たり、ミネラリーなニュアンスと収斂性を伴った渋味が甘味とバランスをとっていて、発酵バターのような風味が余韻に残ります。
