Very tasty.
Mild berry, grapefruit, vanilla, wood and clove, and whey aromas.
Light, slightly effervescent mouthfeel.
Slightly sweet and sharp acidity. Fresh minerality and brine. Good umami and astringency. Delicate, with great balance and flavors.
Serve with edamame (soybean curd), seared red squid sashimi, with unohana, caprese, or shrimp cocktail.
Sake I buy on days when I feel like having a good drink today. Repeat.
Good umami, aroma, sharpness, and price. I will continue to buy it in the future.
5/5
Sawaya Matsumoto is hard to drink because it is not seen locally.
This one also has a clean, sharp impression that will not make you tired of drinking.
It seems to go well with a variety of dishes.
Curiosity got the better of me with a label I'd never seen before...
Aged for 3 years...? It was so refreshing and sharp that I thought it was a lie!
And it's more strongly carbonated than slightly carbonated!
Carbonation at the moment of drinking, I personally don't feel any sweetness, and the aftertaste lingers for a while after drinking.
After the third sip, the carbonation is gone and it becomes mellow and easy to drink.
Moribari" by Sawataniya Matsumoto in Kyoto, Japan.
It was a delicious sake with a particularly strong rice flavor and an addictive bitterness and depth of flavor that is the very essence of Japanese sake 😋.
