Masaaki Sapporo
8.5 points (Wife: 8.5 points)
Rice used: Gohyakumangoku (80%), Yamadanishiki (20%)
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 15.5%.
Slightly apple-like top note
The same clean aroma as the first rise, the soft umami and sweetness of the rice spreads with a moderate acidity, and the slight bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness make it finish smoothly.
It is easy to match with meals and tastes great on its own.
