Lingering crisp acidity and alcohol spiciness
Impression Fruity dry
Refreshing fruity aroma and rummy taste.
The taste is low in sugar and has a strong acidity. A sharp type. It is one of the sharpest Utashiro, but I like it a lot.
I want to drink it chilled.
Repeat Score 2.5
Light acidity and complexity.
Kills off with a minerality as it is.
Sweetness is also present, but it is quite subdued.
The low alcohol content of 12.5 degrees Celsius keeps the alcohol content low, but the minerality is strong, so it is very drinkable.
Someone described it as an "adult's rum", and after actually drinking it, I feel that is a very apt description.
By the way, it doesn't go well with yakitori (liver), which I bought as a snack,
It pops in your mouth and each time it pops, you can feel the sweetness and the deliciousness of the taste.
Even so, the aftertaste is refreshing and you will never get tired of drinking it.
It is delicious as a food wine, and the cup goes on and on!
