It was a little gassy when the bottle was opened, but there was no gassy feeling.
It has a sweet strawberry-like aroma.
The sweetness comes first, and then the fruity aroma and light honey-like sweetness that was felt on the top rung spreads, with a hint of rice flavor, acidity, and a slight bitterness, and slowly wears off while retaining the sweetness.
A sake that gives the impression of being sweet from start to finish.
It went well with potato salad, kamaboko from Kamaei (Otaru), and coal zangi (Mikasa), but the sweetness was a bit much, so maybe it is a dessert sake?
It went well with White Stone from Patisserie Laneige.
My wife liked it, but it was too sweet for her.
