Slightly red melon-like aroma
Fruity aroma like red melon, clean sweetness, and mild rice flavor spread out, and the acidity is hidden by them.
The tingling sensation of alcohol and a slight bitterness make it crisp and clean, while retaining a slight fruity flavor.
The rest of the flavor, including the lingering aftertaste, is relatively light.
I think the fire-aged Kokushimusou Junmai Daiginjo from the same brewery that I had in the past was better balanced.
On the second day, the umami and sweetness mellowed, and the balance improved with the umami and slight acidity at the end of the finish.
Sake with a light impression
Went well with cod roe and garlic pasta, and bucket.
