Aramasa Brewery
Ecru Sake
Akita, Japan
Like the 2018 Ecru, this was pure, deep, and playful. Bouquet of melon, apricot, florals, almond, and a faint pineapple note. Bright acidity and a light petillance in the mouth. Taking a leaf out of Aramasa's own book: there's a real glacial quality to how this drinks, accentuated by the mineral feel and weighty texture. Honestly, it's evocative of the great rieslings of Grünhaus - cramming so much flavour within such "lightness". Mind-blowing when you find out that this is Aramasa's entry level nihonshu.
