Slightly effervescent
Balanced sweet and spicy, acidic, rich, with a strong rice flavor.
Bitter aftertaste.
There is also a strong sense of gusto of sake.
The season of new sake has come again this year. This year again, we will enjoy freshly squeezed new sake from Manzaku, the sake that started my life as a sake brewer.
The aroma is that of mansaku. The aroma is that of Manzaku, which is not so much for the sake beginner, as it is for the sake lover.
When you drink it, you will feel a slight bubbling sensation of freshly squeezed gas on the palate. From there, the moderate sweetness of the rice passes from the oral cavity to the nasal cavity.
It is a taste that makes you think that this season has started again this year.
I had never had a chance to try it. One day, I suddenly thought that the standard dry sake might be hi-ire, so I asked a question at a liquor store and found out that it was also hi-ire. So I decided to keep it at room temperature and drink it whenever I wanted to, so I kept it in the closet. It was convenient because I was just looking for some standard dry sake and this was one of the candidates.
It seems to be similar in direction to the Tengu Mai Yamahai Namaizu that I had just had. The main difference is that it has less acidity and is therefore more crisp.
On the first day, it was quite alcoholic or had some classical peculiarities, but after the next day, it suddenly became more coherent and less stuck.
Perhaps it was the Taheizan 3104 that I was drinking with it, but it seemed strangely more organized or beautiful, or somehow less stuck in the drink.
It is indeed a fire-entry. It does not deteriorate even after a few days, and even seems a little milder after about 10 days, and the impression remains almost the same until the end. For my personal taste, the 5th day was the best.
