酒記「しゅき」
Sake just like the pictured bottle. Amazing.
I had it snow-cold.
The aroma is refreshing, like LaFrance. Unlike Japanese pear, it has a dense aroma. It also smells like peach.
The roundness of the lactic acidity and the yogurtiness combine to create a very beautiful aroma.
The aroma rises as it reaches room temperature.
The gasiness is fine and mild.
The softness and gentle sweetness of the oli, the bitterness that slowly emerges, and the dry aftertaste make for a pleasant drinking experience.
The taste has a natural sweetness like that of wasanbon and a mild bitterness and astringency.
The taste has a natural sweetness like that of wasanbon, a gentle bitterness and astringency, and a dry aftertaste that gives it a crisp finish.
The acidity is not so assertive, but it makes it a sake you want to keep drinking without getting tired of drinking.
It is fresh and evokes a dignified scene in the cold, reminiscent of the winter sea.
The grains of ori (rice pellets) look like dancing snowflakes and are pleasing to the eye as well.
The sweetness is particularly refreshing, yet easy to drink with a touch of sweetness.
As you continue to drink, the slight bitterness and astringency become more apparent.
If you want to pair it with food, try tempura, dishes with acidity, and dishes such as abura-gon-chicken and marinades. I think it would be good with chicken or marinated dishes. The presence of fatty ingredients will make the sake more enjoyable.
