garacchi
A balance of lightness and richness
A summer version of Special Junmai Sake Hachigo
As far as the etiquette goes, it's usually the raw sake version of Yasgo
Since it is not a ginjo, the aroma is subdued and the rice flavor is unique to unpasteurized sake
The taste is dry and light in the mouth, but by the time you swallow it, the flavor of the rice fills your mouth at once.
From there, the aftertaste cuts through quickly with acidity.
It has a light hint and a crisp finish, but it also has a freshness and strong attack that is typical of a raw sake, with a strong contrast in flavor.
I haven't had a regular Hachigo recently, so I can't really tell the difference, but I thought it was more than just a light, Sanin-type summer sake
