ののさん
This is the first bottle I've had since I learned about the Hiyaoroshi genre. It is a repeat because of the clear image of Saku (Omachi) that I drank before.
The aroma is like a ripe melon.
Last time, it had a clear flavor with a watery texture. This time, the umami and acidity rise slowly and softly above the bottom. Once it spreads, it cuts off again as if it were sinking quietly. There is a faint bitterness in the aftertaste.
This combination of acidity and umami is the characteristic of Yamadanishiki. There was a time when I continued to drink Omachi, so I think I'll try Yamadanishiki next time.
