Today is Adult's Day. As a dirty old man, it has nothing to do with me, but I opened a bottle of this Arabashiri.
The brand name is cherry blossom, but it smells like plum gum. It has a light sweetness and bitterness with just enough gas to make my mouth foam, and I feel a sense of youthfulness, as if I were about to start riding on a stolen motorcycle, but I guess that's forgivable because it's a new sake.
It is the same for newcomers (stealing a motorcycle is a crime). I hope that you will find what you are looking for during this period of time when mistakes are allowed, and that you will not waste your time aimlessly.
Here's to a future full of hope for all newcomers!
Liked 8/10
From the beginning of the drink, you can feel the carbonation and the fruity sweetness.
It is juicy and leaves a strong aftertaste.
Easy to drink with a slight bitterness.
The sweetness of the sake-like taste of rice is almost zero, and the first thing you say when you drink it is, "What is this?
The mellow aroma that passes through the nose is unique.
The mouthfeel is smooth and refreshing. Is there a slight bitterness?
Is it similar to wine? I thought so.
I saw in another review that it goes well with cake! I thought so, and downed it with datemaki.
At first I was a little disappointed, but the aftertaste made me feel satisfied! But the aftertaste made me feel satisfied!
It gives the impression of a taste that sake lovers would like.
The spiciness is not strong, but it lingers in the nose.
The smell of alcohol is strong, or perhaps the aroma has a chemical flavor, which I did not like 😢.
The color is pale yellow and the BY is unknown, but it seems to be matured.
When served cold, it is heavy with a sense of maturity and acidity similar to that of a sake made from sake brewed in a traditional sake brewery. When heated, it has a mild umami and a sharpness with acidity. I prefer it warmed by far.
It has a refreshing mouthfeel, and because it is plus 10, it has a smooth aftertaste.
The aroma is unique, with a mysterious scent of rice or something else.
