Melon or pineapple yogurt-like top-up
The same fruity aroma, soft sweetness, and rice flavor as on the top rise, spreads with lactic acidity, and is quickly quenched with a little alcohol spiciness and bitterness.
The aroma is not so strong and smooth overall, and the refreshing acidity and the dryness of the alcohol that rises from the middle of the bottle make it refreshing and well-balanced, and you will not feel that it is 17 degrees Celsius.
It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
In addition, the price is 1,500 yen (tax included) for 720ml. It is one of the best in its class in terms of cost performance.
It went well with simmered raw hokke and a recipe from Remi Hirano's "The Best Restaurant of My Life" broadcast the other day (beef tomato). The beef tomatoes went well with rice, but I changed it to pasta in a hurry and it was even better.
Otoko Ume Sour: Japanese umami with a slight aroma of rice malt, but not so much sake as a combination of pickled plums and sake.
It went well with Sara Udon.
