Lingering Taste and Lactic Acid
Impression: Tasty, medium dry
The aroma is of rice and cream, which is expected to be umami from the nose.
The taste has a good balance of sweetness and lactic acidity, which accentuates the umami. However, it is not full of amino acids. It has a slight acetic acidity, but it is not that negative.
It tastes like a pure Koshino-Kanbai.
Repeat Score 2.0
On a business trip to the snow, Akita is getting it at Ogachu in Yuzawa. As advertised, it has a yeasty, sweet, and thick flavor. It is not too sweet and thick with a yeasty taste, but it is not cloying or cloying. I never get this kind of wine in my hometown of Kanagawa, so I always bring it back home with me.
Ogawa Chutaro Shoten, I got drunk on the tasting.
I was lured to buy it by the handwritten-style label, which is just rolled up and fastened with cellophane tape. If you peel off the label, you will find a normal label underneath.
The mother sake is Gin no Sei, the rice is polished to 50% 50%, and the alcohol content is 16.5 degrees.
It tastes clean and free of miscellaneous flavors.
The taste is refreshing, but the mild sweetness of the rice lingers in the aftertaste.
Personally, I like it at room temperature or slightly chilled.
I had never heard of this sake, but the moment I drank it, it tasted so good!
I could feel the umami of the rice with the volume that is typical of nama sake!
I wonder if the sweet aftertaste of the sake is the umami of the rice?
Purchased on a return trip to Akita
Shocking label
After the sweetness
After the sweetness, it has a robust flavor.
The alcohol content of 17.5 degrees is
but it is more than a little tight.
It is a sake with a great taste.
