Nihon Sakari Shinshu Shiboritate Namasake

Clear. Velvety sherry nose, in between dry and sweet Amontillado. A bit brandy-ish too. A bit nutty taste, like if a little sesame oil and hazelnut oil were finely suspended in the liquid. Again sherry-like flavours, flowery and distinct rosewater. Slightly burning MF, alcohol apparent. Leaves a slightly buttery feel in the mouth, as if covered with a film. Somehow, I fear sake’s will never rise amongst my favourite drinks...
