Color is pale yellow. The aroma is not strong but has a heavy alcohol smell. It may be a little too strong for me... When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami of the rice, but it has a strong lingering taste, and the alcohol is assertive in the middle of the taste. I was told to drink it chilled, but I think it should be served lukewarm. Sorry 🙏.
I drank it again after a few days from the opening of the bottle, and it has become very easy to drink, and the taste is becoming similar to Shin Tsuchida. Next time I have a chance to drink it, I'll just open the bottle and drink it days later.
The new sake + nigori corps is almost at the end of the season. This time, we opened a bottle of this one that we were particularly interested in!
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is full of freshness like melon and kiwi.
The mouthfeel is clean and fresh. It has the silky texture of "orikarami" and the strength of "arabashiri" on the tongue.
The main flavor is a lush astringent taste. The taste is bright yet punchy, with a milky, mild sweetness and a sharpness that comes from the spiciness!
The three-way balance between the freshness of melon and kiwi, the punch of umami, and the light sharpness is exquisitely delicious ✨.
The same gorgeous freshness as the "Sakiyami" we drank earlier, but with a different vector of presence.
I feel the "Bumpuku" character in the sense that it sits on its haunches👍.
