Lingering Alcoholic spiciness and bitterness
Impression Tasty, medium dry
The aroma is quite subdued. Heavy aroma like banana. Taste is umakuchi type with some body. Although the sake level is 0, it is rather spicy. It goes well with strong flavors and strong dishes, making it a good mid-meal sake.
Personally, I prefer Gassan's blue, clear, dry version.
Repeat Score 1.5
I would like to repeat if there were salted fish or cheese.
There is no ginjo aroma, but there is a little fresh topping aroma that foreshadows sourness.
The gasiness is strong and fresh on the palate.
The balance of umami acidity and bitterness is a little more acidic. And it's clean and crisp. 😋😋😋😋
It has a bit of body, and the sweetness and spiciness are dry.
Serve cold 😆.
This is the best summer sake for eating 👍.
2,500 yen without tax
I bought this on my way back from visiting Izumo Taisha shrine in Shimane: ☺️
I've always been curious about Gassan.
I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, so I bought this one because it's a seasonal sake 💕
It's refreshing and very tasty!
It has a sour and citrusy taste.
The aroma and taste are both refreshing and clean! Delicious 🥰!
