[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 1.5
Acidity: 2.0 (mainly sharp malic acid, slight lactic acidity on the back palate)
Sweetness: 1.0
Umami: 1.5
Bitterness: 1.5
Lingering: Short. It wears off quickly, leaving a light astringency and a dry structure on the back of the palate.
Impression: Classical dry sake.
Kochi is often divided into two types of sake: classic light and dry and CEL yeast fruity sake, but this is overwhelmingly the former.
This is a stoic, light, dry sake, with almost no sweetness, and the acidity and sharpness of the alcohol make the drinker enjoy it. It is less flamboyant and shows its true value during meals. It is a perfect match for bonito tataki and dishes served on plates.
Pairing] Bonito tataki, sashimi (especially blue fish), grilled chicken (with salt), tempura and other dishes with strong oil and flavor.
Repeat Score] 1.5
A summer-only version of the Funaka Hachisaku series
The combination of ultra-harsh and unpasteurized sake gives it a refreshing and sharp taste at the same time.
