Aroma is mild and mouthfeel is clean.
I had an image of Atago no Matsuri as being refreshing and crisp, but as it is a new sake made from ogara-mi, it has a sweeter and more complex flavor than I had imagined.
There is a slight gassy feeling and a numbness on the tongue.
Still, it is refreshing and easy to drink.
Drink cold
The aroma is citrusy.
Sweetness for a moment at the beginning, then mainly sourness and bitterness at the beginning.
It is good to drink as a snack sake.
I have been wanting to try Atago no Matsuri for a long time. I had already had Hakurakusei from the same brewery, but Atago no Matsu, which is rumored to have a more pop flavor than Hakurakusei, I finally got to try it! The one I saw but didn't quite buy! I bought it after struggling with what to do with my refrigerator situation!
Yes, it's delicious! There are some banana-like parts, but it's basically apple. It's sweet and sour but mild and mature. It's made to be easy to drink for the layman, but with elements that the experts like. I think it's insanely delicious. However, not to be snarky, but I'm not sure what kind of people they are targeting lol I wonder if it's everyone (all people) lol.
After the second day, the fruitiness settles down day by day, but the sakeiness appears in inverse proportion.
I can't pinpoint what kind of food to match it with, but on the contrary, it has the depth of nostalgia that can be matched with anything. This is indeed the brewery that produces Hakurakusei. I guess we can consider Atago no Matsuri to have a more pronounced flavor than Hakurakusei.
Sendai Sake Trip
We visited a friend who is a sake connoisseur living in Sendai and went to Isshin, a restaurant famous among sake lovers in the evening.
All of the dishes were impressively delicious and we were able to enjoy the local seasonal flavors to the fullest.
We were allowed to drink as much sake as we wanted, so we started with the new Atago no matsuri, which I had always wanted to try. The fruity aroma and the rich flavor made it one of my favorite sakes!
After that, we continued to enjoy Miyagi Prefecture's sake, and for the first time in a long time, I had a headache the next morning...I drank too much.
I bought it because of the label glitter.
Dry! I can't smell it, maybe because I'm drunk haha!
Great sharpness of taste, sourness, a little bit of bubbles.
Sweet but too sharp, a little bitter on the second sip!
A sake I want to drink again tomorrow!
I was too drunk to notice that it was cloudy? I didn't notice that it was cloudy.
Tomorrow, I want to review it.
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 15
Fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness.
It is said to be very dry, but when drunk lukewarm, it has just the right amount of sweetness.
My favorite sake
