Mizu No Shirabe "Sound of Water" - Sake Social - 1

720ml

Mizu No Shirabe "Sound of Water"

$42

"Sound of Water" has a really superb nose filled with hints of peaches, grapes, and persimmons with an undercurrent of minerals and green grasses.  The first sip spells a very gentle and delicate sake with a smoothness and confidence filled with a melon slickness.  The middle-mouth is chewy and clean and the finish is a nice disappearing act with no aftertaste.  This is a great "bring to a party sake." Not too fruity and not too dry- just very neutral and balanced.

Sake is sake.

While stationed at NAF Atsugi, JA: (THANK you... USN) I consumed with JOY MUCH sake; the VERY best provided by our hosts, the JMSDF at the annual Cherry Blossom Festival: VERY high grade, still in the barrel from the brewer, to be quaffed over the provided freshly cut pine cups).

Having tasted the best AND the worst (from vending machines in ANY train station) I can say with some authority that except for the very cheapest, that sake is sake. (My go to in JA was "Suwanatsuru" (sp?) of which I always had a 1.8 or two on hand in my "uchi." )

FINALLY (to the point) "Miso no Shirabe" is assuredly above average, but there are several brands of sake produced in CA (my new go to is "Sho Chiku Bai" that VERY much approach the quality of good sake of Japanese origin.

The rice may be milled to but 80% vice 40%, but the uneducated palate will likely not be able to tell the difference. ELK (USNA '68)

Strong Kick in the Beginning, Aromatic & Smooth Aftertaste

This bottle has a kick in the beginning but an aromatic, smooth aftertaste. I ordered this as part of the Beginner's Sake Kit. Personally, I like the Wakatake Onigoroshi better so I would take that over Mizu No Shirabe for the same price. However, this is still an amazing bottle. I enjoyed the hint of persimmons. Recommend it!
