Asamatake is a sake that I have been paying attention to recently. I am not a big fan of sake made with flower yeast because the aroma is too strong in a way, but the owner recommended it to me as a beautifully brewed sake, and I thought I would give it a try if it was Asamatake.
The nose is quite strong, with a honey-like sweetness mixed in with the ginjo aroma. It is made with cosmos flower yeast, but I don't understand what it is called 🌸cosmos🌸, but on the contrary, it is an aroma that is not strange to me.
The taste is quite reasonable for the aroma. It has a good balance of umami and alcohol, but not too strong, and it has acidity and a nice sharpness.
Perhaps it is characteristic of flower yeast, but as the temperature begins to rise, there is a sense of slight bitterness.
It was a flower yeast sake, but I personally felt no discomfort and enjoyed it. ☺️
