Mikotsuru Origarami 御湖鶴 おりがらみ

Nagano was host to the 1998 Winter Olympics, which gained the prefecture international recognition as well as gaining the prefecture a Shinkansen (known as "bullet train") line to Tokyo.

Nine of the twelve highest mountains in Japan can be found in this inland prefecture. Nagano is also the prefecture which is bordered by the highest number of other prefectures in Japan and it contains the location which is the furthest point from the ocean anywhere in Japan. Many tourists visit Nagano to enjoy hot springs and montain resorts.

Mikotsuru Origarami Junmai

Rice: Hitogokochi

Polished ratio: 60%

AVB 15.5%

It has elegant aromas of ripe melon, a hint of fresh mint, and green apple skin. It is qute dry but it has a delicate sweetness come through in the middle... The finish is very clean and I could feel minerality and clean acidity on the palate.

Almost savoury aftertaste.

I'd say... this sake will pare well with meaty white fish such as turbot, or seabass sashimi. I think best serving temperature is child not warm. And this is great partner with food but great on its own...
