The taste on the palate was very strong, with a strong sake flavor, and as soon as you swallow it, the sake feeling comes through very strongly, just as I imagined traditional sake to be!
When heated up, the sake flavor was very strong on the palate, but once it was in the mouth, it was very soft and fluffy and delicious!
After some time, the alcohol feeling was gone and it became mellow and thick on the palate, and the aftertaste was very easy to drink, with a hint of alcohol, but gentle!
The aroma is classic. The tangy mouthfeel is clean and tasty. The aftertaste has a slightly dry feeling. It is low al (12 degrees), but it feels more than that.
This bottle was given to me by a senior colleague when I went to Sendai on a business trip.
He does not drink sake very often, but his wife, who loves sake, gave it to him as a gift.
It has an elegant sweetness and richness. It was very delicious.
I am looking forward to choosing what I would like to receive as a gift in return.
