Taste & Aroma】※Slightly hazy
The nose is gorgeous with a slightly fruity overtone. In the mouth, it is not light and is as dry as the aroma. Then, it gradually becomes more complex with the umami of the rice. This complexity (umami, acidity, and bitterness are moderate, I think) has a richness like that of aged sashimi, and is strongly felt in the aftertaste. It is also well balanced without being sharp.
The first sip is refreshing with its gorgeousness and spiciness, and the last sip allows you to slowly savor its full-bodied complexity, so you can enjoy it without monotony. The dry, robust complexity was very much to my liking.
It is recommended to finish it soon after opening the bottle, as the taste will become blurred and the spiciness will be lost as the bottle ages.
Food Recommendations
This time, since it is a dry, rich mellow wine, I made stir-fried meat and vegetables. For seasoning, I used soy sauce, miso, and soy sauce. The dark and complex flavors of this sake made for an enjoyable contrast to the initial refreshing taste.
This sake is both refreshing and rich, so I think it can be paired with a variety of dishes.
