Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 15%.
Delicious. The sweetness of Aizan is used to its advantage, while the acidity and bitterness in the aftertaste keep it from being cloying.
I was lured into buying it by a pop-up saying it was the liquor store clerk's number one seller. Kamokin is said to use Omachi in many cases, but this bottle was a challenge to Aizan. It is said that Aizan is a rice that melts more easily than Omachi, making it peppy and difficult to handle.
It tastes fruity, like banana, melon, and peach, and is very mild, fresh, and delicious. After opening the bottle, the fruity flavor was strong, but after a week or so, it seemed to have calmed down somewhat.
It is said to be made with the No. 9 series yeast, and No. 9 has a low acidity. I think it would go well with fresh cheese.
The mouthfeel is elegant and fresh.
In the mouth, Omachi's typical full-bodied flavor and richness spreads out, and the balance of gentle sweetness and well-defined acidity is superb!
