The first sip was quite sour...? I thought it was quite acidic.
For a sake that claims to be a food sake, it seems to have a lot of acidity.
Well-balanced and refreshing, it's the kind of sake you'd want to drink on the first sip.
I would like to drink it as a first sip.
Friday's fun opening day 🍶 lol!
Tonight, we have a Toji's Choice Pink Label ✨ from Mansaku no Hana.
It's a food sake, so...my curiosity about ⁉️, which has something in common with Hakurakusei, won out and I bought it without hesitation 😆.
When I opened the bottle...?
It has a subtle ginjo aroma, which is gorgeous for a food sake 🤔.
Then I took a sip 😋.
The sweetness, umami, and sourness 🍋 can be felt at the moment of drinking, but it quickly disappears and the aftertaste is refreshing ✨.
This may be the type of food wine that you can choose what to pair it with... I don't think it can be paired with heavy fat 😅.
This is just my personal opinion, but for yakitori, I would definitely choose shio (salt): ❗️
I'm a little doubtful that tare can shed the taste of tare and reset it ❓....
On the contrary, the balance of sweetness, umami and bitterness, and sharpness... I think the balance is quite good even if it is a single item: 🙆♂️
If you drink it as a substitute for beer, it will make your cup go down a notch 😆.
However...it's still a hard hurdle to break the stronghold of Hakurakusei, which specializes in the ultimate food sake 💧.
On the first day, it was easy to drink and you could taste the rice flavor, but on the second day, I felt that the dry part became a little sweeter, and I felt it changed considerably as the days went by.
I am looking forward to the future.
My wife was attracted by the cute turtle label at the liquor store and bought a packet ❕🥰.
I can't wait to try Kame-no-o and Aizan sake ❕❕❕.
Let's start with the aroma.
It has a fresh sweet aroma like green apple and pear.
When you put it in your mouth, the fresh sweetness spreads all over your mouth just like the aroma.
There is also a slight sourness, and the sweetness doesn't linger, but it quickly evaporates 😀 😀.
When you put some fatty bonito tataki in your mouth and drink it with it, the sweetness fades away and it feels dry.
This is delicious ❕.

Personal preference
It is a Junmai Daiginjo-once-hiked, unrefined sake made from Hinomaru Brewing's finest Junmai Daiginjo-which brings out the fine sweetness of "Aizan" while the acidity keeps the overall flavor tight and elegant.
After about 9 months of low-temperature bottle storage, the sake had a more mature taste and a slightly thickened mouthfeel, with a gorgeous fruity aroma followed by a soft sweetness and a beautiful acidic aftertaste.
