I bought this bottle at Belk's on my way to work because my body was in need of a drink. I got the impression that it is not a traditional sake, but a modern, clean or refreshing drink. And the specs are
Rice used: Domestic rice (both rice and rice malt)
Polishing ratio = 50%.
Sake meter = around 2.0
Acidity = around 1.4
Amino acidity = around 1.1
(From the brewery's website)
If you are going to drink a cup of sake, you want it to have this level of quality. This is a bottle from a long-established brewery in Handa, Aichi, which has been in existence since the Edo period.
At Sekai no Yamachan Hakata Bus Terminal Branch,
I met Handago at the World Yamachan Hakata Bus Terminal!
It is fruity and has a clean aftertaste.
It goes well with Dote-ni.
There was a person from the brewery to do a tasting and sale at the sales floor. The person today looked bored and I felt sorry for him and bought this sake. Thank you for coming from far away.
When I looked at the label at home, I found that the production date on the label was November 5. I opened the bottle today to taste it as soon as possible.
It has a fruity aroma and a good mouthfeel. It was a delicious sake with a complex flavor with a touch of bitterness and umami.
I drank Handa Go after reading the comments from others.
It does have a yogurt-like mouthfeel, but afterwards it feels like water and is easy to drink.
It is not mellow and goes well with Yamachan's spicy food!
