Notes of grapes, flowers, whey, and wood.
The mouthfeel is light and slightly effervescent.
Soft flavor, illusory sweetness, tight acidity, lush and delicate.
Serve with lightly pickled cucumber, yose-tofu, steamed matsutake mushrooms in an earthen pot, bonito tataki, grilled sea bream with saikyo mushrooms, and matsutake mushroom rice.

The aroma is fresh and fruity, with green apples.

Repeat Score] 2.5
Second glass at the bar of Sakaizendo Fushimi. This one is easier to drink than the junmai sake, with less spiciness, more umami, and more gas.
It was nice to be able to try it before buying a 4-gouple bottle.
Sawaya Matsumoto, which I enjoyed drinking at the hotel before I got into sake. At that time, it must have been Moribetsu Aizan.
Mildly spicy, with a strong umami aftertaste. It's solidly delicious.
Sukkiri-san. Slightly light. Sourness and umami coexist, and the bitterness finishes it off.
After a while, there is a sense of gas, to the extent that bubbles can be seen inside the glass.
It is a beautiful sake, suitable for a mealtime drink. I thought it was similar to Hakurakusei.
It is clear, light and easy to drink.
Because it is hi-iru, it is not very fresh, but it is well-balanced and delicious.
Personally, I think it has a graceful quality that is typical of Kyoto brands.
