Abunotsuru Goya Junmai 58 Namazume

Goya! This bottle was so yummy and the sticker label is cool too. I love the play on the word Goya - which is the pronunciation for 58 but also translates to bitter melon. A nice balanced umami and sweetness. The sake is flavourful with a light sparkle because it’s a nama. A small hint of bitterness at the finish. Amazing sake! Highly recommend.
