Fruity. Like an orange.
The impression is that it is
Accompaniments.
Bean-curd soup with fried eggplant and potatoes with miso,
miso cucumber, grilled chicken halami with salt and
snack parmesan cheese.
After the cheese, the sourness becomes stronger
I thought it would be no good.
Other than that, it is good.

[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 2.0
Acidity: 2.0
Sweetness: 1.0
Umami: 2.0
Bitterness: 2.0
Lingering taste: Short and sharp. The umami of rice and light bitterness quickly disappear.
Impression: Classical, umami, super dry.
The aroma is quite subdued with a hint of rice.
It is designed to be very dry with a sake meter of +12, but the umami of the rice can be felt even in the dryness.
The alcohol taste is a bit harsh on its own, but it is quite good as a food sake. I drank it with salted squid and salmon roe marinated in soy sauce, and it went perfectly with them.
It is also suitable for warming up, and since it becomes a little milky, it is best drunk with hot tofu.
Pairing] Goes well with simple Japanese dishes such as grilled fish, salted fish, yudofu, pickles, etc.
Repeat Score] 2.0
When I asked the owner about the label, which I had never seen before, he told me that it was made from a newly developed rice called "Niji no Kirameki," which is resistant to the recent summer heat.
The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt a slight carbonation and juiciness. The label says it is refreshingly dry, but I personally thought it was the kind of sake I like with umami flavor.
R3BY was served warm. The color is amber. It has a sweet umami taste with a mellow matured feel, and the acidity of the sake is gentle.
Serve with blue cheese with mirin (sweet sake).
What a third installment. This experiment of different rice is interesting. Each one has its own personality and the last one wasn't sweet but this one is crazy sweet. It's delicious 🤤I'm already looking forward to the next one 🍶.
I think it must be a really skilled brewery to have this taste at this price ✨.
