Morishima純米吟醸 山田錦
Kab
Not much aroma. Some fresh grapefruitiness?
It is still very fruity and has a gassy feel to it.
When you drink it, it has a slight sweetness that is both grapefruity and apple-like, and the umami of the rice is also present, although it does not expand as much. As one would expect from Yamada-Nishiki.
Cideriness is a characteristic of Morishima, but the flavor complexity is a bit like a mixed cider.
The sharpness is slightly more bitter than pungent, but it does not linger.
I don't remember the previous Junmai Daiginjo Omachi being so clear, but I think it is less dry than that, with a slight sweetness and riceiness. The dryness of the sharpness is not so much, and the bitterness is the main taste.
The overall image of the brand, with its gaseous and sharp taste, is still stable. Next time, I would like to try Hitachi-Nishiki.
