The first sake of the year
Hakkaisan is very stable. I drink it cold, but it has few habits and is very easy to drink.
You can drink it slowly because of its calm taste.
I still don't know why, but my personal impression was that it wasn't very good, not so much a flash in the pan.
Maybe the food I paired it with wasn't good, or maybe the alcohol was stronger than I expected.
Maybe the food was not as good as I wanted it to be, or maybe the alcohol was stronger than I wanted it to be.
I will try again next time with a different drink combination!
3. The mouthfeel is fresh and clean as a daiginjo, while still giving the impression of sake. It is not too thin, but has the umami of sake. Good as a food sake. Junmai Daiginjo, 50%, a gift.
