Aftertaste: Medium. Umami and bitterness remain in the aftertaste and disappear sharply.
Pairing] Personally, I like to pair it with oily sashimi and grilled fish.
Impression] Mellow and dry with a lightness.
The aroma is mild, with a refreshing ginjo aroma of green apples. When served cold, it is so fresh that you don't feel the 70% rice polishing. The taste is refreshing with a sharp acidity.
It seems to take on a different appearance when the temperature is raised.
I've had it several times, so I'll wait for a while to try it again.
...30 minutes later
It was true that a thicker acidity and umami flavor that wasn't there at first appeared. Next time, I'll have it hot.
Repeat Score] 2.0
Ura-Gassan -Edge- Unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Aroma is quite subdued.
Beautiful sweetness of vinegared iso type spreading (unlike the raw one I bought last year, both aroma and taste are mild).
Banana + cool rummy sweetness with a clean aftertaste... I like it! 🥰
I bought the raw last year, so this time I tried the fire-roasted! I was surprised at the totally different taste! I was surprised at how different it tasted 🔥.
Tsukiyama innovation CITRUS
Aroma is of iso-vinegar type (🍌 + a hint of yogurt).
Mouthfeel is rather mild! When swallowed, it has a strong citric acidity. But it is not harsh because of the overall lightness of the beer! (Very easy to drink as you don't feel any alcohol at all).
I love the innovation series😍.
I had some sake on a trip to Shimane.
I drank it in a wine glass, but it was not fruity like I usually drink, and had a slightly bitter taste.
It was like a food sake, but I don't think I'll have another glass.
I would like to have a glass of wine.
