Sake is clear and dry. In the mouth, you can taste sweetness and umami that is almost fruity, but the sake has a dry appeal from the start. It finishes with a sharp sharp taste.
It is dry but refreshing and delicious.
I drank it heated at camping🏕️ when it was getting cold at night, it was too nice to warm up with a fire and sake...! It's called "super-hot", but it's delicious with a moderate mildness and riceiness!
ABV 15%, 65-70% polished rice, alcohol +8, acidity 1.3, kohyakumangoku 65%, again from Nagai Shuzo, Gunma Prefecture. Since it's based on a fish cake broth, I thought it could use a little more dryness.
It was a bit different from the chokara I expected. It didn't have a strong personality. SMV +8 is not a chokara, but it's a moderately balanced and smooth dryness. No complexity to the flavor.
