なまころA sake I was honestly disappointed in after drinking it at an izakaya in Toyama previously.
Today, I came across an unopened bottle of Katsikoma at an izakaya and ordered it again, thinking that my impression would be different if it had just been opened.
The result was...
It has an unusual taste, with a strong umami and sweetness on the palate, but with a clean aftertaste.
This clean aftertaste is common in dry sake, but it is rare in such sweet umami sake.
It depends on one's taste, but if you want to make a sake with a clean aftertaste to match the fish from Toyama, it would have been better to make it dry from the start to give it a more solid direction.
It is a niche flavor, in my opinion.
