Satisfaction: ★★★★★
The aroma that wafts through the air as soon as the bottle is opened is a strange scent.
The aroma is not unpleasant, but I have never smelled anything like it.
In the mouth, there is a light sweetness, umami, followed by sourness and finally bitterness.
Everything is in good balance, but the sweetness is the most noticeable.
If we were to compare it to a fruit, it would be Mikka Mikan. It is not a tangerine like Setoka.
I don't feel the melon so much, but I keep eating more of them just like eating mandarin oranges one after another at a kotatsu (a Japanese low table over the fireplace).
I didn't think it was good at the moment I put it in my mouth, but it tastes good slowly.
It tastes great even as a food wine.
I had a bottle of Junmai Oragami Nama Sake by Tocho Mutsugorou before, which was a very gorgeous, sweet and delicious sake, but in comparison, Sawayaka is more refreshing and tasty.
I guess that means the taste is what the name is aiming for.
By the way, there are many breweries I like in Saga.
I opened a bottle of this one that I bought at a Saga Sake event to get my friend immersed in the sake swamp.
The aroma was fresh and pear-like.
The taste is a pleasant sake with a gentle gasiness, followed by a sweetness that spreads gently, and then a umami that quickly disappears, leaving behind a moderate acidity.
Sake with a gentle flavor is very relaxing to drink. ☺️
My friend also drank it and said it was delicious. ⭕️
Good evening, Mr. Kachikachiyama!
Perfect sake missionary work for your friend 😁✨✨.
I haven't had Tocho yet, but it looks delicious 😋!
Gentle sake really relaxes the soul ☺️
