<Fruity, full of sweetness and bitterness, alcohol>. Nice to meet you, this is "Kanto-no-Hana" from Seishuzo, Gunma Prefecture. The brand name "Kanto-no-Hana" is based on the anecdote that Tokugawa Ieyasu said "I will make you the flower of Kanto" when he gave the castle of Umabashi in Ueno Province, which is now Gunma Prefecture, to Sakai Shigetada. According to the official website, this sake is "a sake for the middle of the meal, with a pleasant umami taste and a refreshing acidity. Sounds good. Let's drink it. The aroma is clean and sweet. It has a clear aloso taste. When you put it in your mouth, you will instantly feel a slight piquancy, sweetness and acidity. It has the sweetness of syrup and the fruity sourness of muscat. The sweetness swells even more, and the alcohol feeling goes ga-ga! It is hard to believe that it is 15% alcohol, but it has a strong presence. The aroma is surprisingly mildly sweet and bitter. The aftertaste is a bitter one. It is fresh, sweet, and delicious, but the alcohol is a little too clear. It's not Ghibli, but I can compare it to Conan, the main character in "Conan: The Future Boy. It is fresh, but it has a stubborn vitality and a mysterious strength.
