Bitterness 2.0
Lingering Sourness and bitterness remain pleasantly
Impression: Fresh and fruity
The aroma is pleasantly sweet, but not extremely fruity. Sawaya's other rice series are more fruity.
The instant impression in the mouth is that of a ramune, combined with a slight carbonation. I guess it comes from the three-part combination of citric acid, sugar, and carbonation.
Personally, I think I prefer Gohyakumangoku the best.
Repeat Score 2.0
Mild berry, ice, lactic acid, and clove aromas.
Gentle, mellow, slightly effervescent mouthfeel.
Slightly sweet and sharp acidity. Great flavors and clear freshness. Rich, dense flavor with a hint of bitterness.
Serve with fresh onion salad, simmered bamboo shoots, yose-dofu, seared red squid, caprese, and nameko mushrooms.
I can feel the umami of rice.
I was expecting a fruity sake, so there was a big gap between the two. It reminded me of an old Tohoku sake.
It matched well with cod roe tempura.
