かつお
I'm going to try an original brand from a local liquor store, which my wife bought. It is my favorite Yamagata sake.
Colorless and transparent. The aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is light and crisp, but the umami is strong and overwhelming. As expected from Yamagata, the taste is similar to my favorite Kudoki-Ue from Yamagata.
The sweetness is only slightly perceptible.
This is a sake that should be savored carefully on its own.
However, it is quite high in alcohol (17%), so be careful not to drink too much.
