Shisora純米吟醸 ストロベリーラベル 無濾過生原酒
Kab
The concept is a sweet and sour sake that imitates strawberries.
The aroma is mild, like that of ordinary sake.
When you drink it, the acidity is strong. There is no sense of gas. The strawberry-like sweetness appears at the same time, followed by the umami of the rice, which is gradually lifted by the bitterness.
After the third day, the sweetness becomes stronger, and then the sweetness and bitterness become more straightforward. This is more modern, but it is not suitable for eating. The bitterness is also a bit strong.
It is not so sweet and gaseous as to be called a typical modern sake, but the sweet and sour acidity is still modern. The rice flavor is not strong, but it is there.
The fact that it is well balanced without being overly fruity, even though it is called a strawberry label, is a strong point, but there may be those who prefer it to be more thorough.
