Transparent with a slight yellowish tinge. The aroma is a combination of savory notes reminiscent of rice straw, sweet notes reminiscent of golden sugar, and mature notes reminiscent of soy sauce. The aroma is strong. On the palate, it has a rich sweetness and sharp acidity. The texture is slightly rough and thick. The flavor is firm. A stimulus that sticks in the throat. It has a long aftertaste with astringency. Full-bodied sake.
When I warmed it on the third day after opening the bottle, the aroma became stronger with a sense of maturity. The acidity has become more pronounced and the mellowness has increased.
Purchased at a sake brewery in Katsuragi Town, Wakayama Prefecture. In the mouth, a fresh and mellow sweetness spreads at first. Gradually, the spiciness increases and the aftertaste is refreshing. It is easy to drink and you can't stop drinking it.
We passed by the brewery and I couldn't help but buy it.
I knew about Hannya Yu, but I didn't know about Hatsuzakura.
Fresh and easy to drink with no peculiarities❗️
