海の男
A product of KURAND, apparently made with yeast and rice from the Russian spacecraft Soyuz in 2005. It seems to be junmai (pure rice) since the rice is polished to 60% and not aluzo-sweetened. It has a nice, understated aroma. Yes, it is good! The acidity is low and the mild umami spreads. It has little sweetness and is clean and dry. The sugar content is 9.7%, so it should be quite dry, but there is umami that covers it. I saw somewhere that it is good chilled, so I chilled it. It has an aroma even when chilled, but the astringency becomes stronger. It is best at room temperature. It is more umakuchi than dry, and if the aroma is added to it, there is nothing to complain about for my taste.
