shitakke
Sweet with a light citrus-like astringency! Not pure sweetness, but sweetness with presence. I wonder what it is, it is raw and fresh. The lingering aftertaste recedes gradually and smoothly. The acidity is assertive, and it is delicious in a clean, refreshing mouthfeel. There is also a gaseous feeling that is typical of Kangiku.
Two days have passed, and the citrus image I had initially had has completely faded. It is like a mildly sweet sake with strong acidity and a clean taste.
