Umami Mart Junmai Sake
Shiga, Japan
Umami Mart Junmai Sake
Brewery: Kita Shuzo, Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan
Classification: Junmai
Rice: Japanese-grown rice
Polishing: 70%
ABV: 15%
Brewer description: A straightforward, food-friendly Junmai emphasizing rice flavor and umami, with balanced acidity and a clean finish.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas.
Fine. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing I would specifically look for.
