The glossy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
It has a soft honey feeling, and a sweetness and richness similar to that of the candy apples you buy at festival stalls. I'm on a high pace with the deliciousness of ice cold raw sake 😋.
The mark on the cap...looks like a peacock or a petal, but it's the [Roku] of Rokka Shuzo!
Ice-tempered raw sake made with Hanafukuyuki (華吹雪) by Morai
The aroma is fruity and sweet with a slight 🍍 flavor.
It has a mild sweetness on the palate, but like Aomori sake, it has a clean aftertaste.
It finishes with a slight spiciness.
There was a comment that it tastes better if you raise the temperature, so I heated it up with a lentil warmer and the spiciness disappeared and the slight citrus acidity stood out, making it quite delicious.
Aomori sage is meh 🍶😘.
The first sip was sour and bitter, with a strong sense of richness, and later a slight sweetness that was delicious and dry, easy to drink and delicious.
I had a classic image of Jyobari, so I was surprised to see that it was a more modern fruity type. The aroma is apple-like? The sweetness is not that strong, and the spiciness and bitterness come through gradually. It is well-balanced and not too strong, so it is perfect as a food wine. It is delicious.
(Compare with Tasake, a special junmai sake also from Aomori.
Tasake has a stronger aroma and lingering taste. Tasake is stronger in aroma and aftertaste, while Morai is mellower and milder. I like both)
Ice-temperature raw sake: ❄️
I've been curious about this one since many people drank it.
It's a Hana-buki, so I imagined it to be an apple type 🍎.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to drink it at high temperatures,
It tastes good when the temperature goes up 😋.
Previously, Du Lai was a dry type
The aroma is mildly sweet with a hint of cinnamon.
It has a firm fizziness, and the taste has a big sweet citrus like navel orange and a mild creamy sweetness, like apple pie.
The Jungin standard is completely free of bitterness and miscellaneous flavors, a benefit of ice-temperature production, perhaps?
Very tasty at room temperature. I think it's the top two newcomers of the last two years, along with Yamazan...
