Like the kappa just before, this is a dry muddy sake that I bought as a repeat purchase because it was outstandingly good when I drank it before. I really like this kind of thing lol.
It has a tremendous degree of effervescence. It will take less than 10 minutes to open the bottle.
It is fizzy and as the name suggests, it does have sweetness. The acidity is also refreshing, so there is a distinct squashiness combined with the bubbles.
More than the sweetness, it has a strong rice flavor or umami. There is quite a lot of unrefined sake, so that is why the flavor is so strong.
The alcohol content is 13%, which is very low for a Shinkame, but the richness and power of the flavor is comparable to that of regular Shinkame, so it seems to go well with meals with strong flavors. I paired it with steak and it went very well with it! I think meat is the only way to go with this richness! With fish sashimi, the sake overpowered the meal and made it taste fishy.
It is sweeter than Shinkame, but I think it is normally dry (lol). Compared to Kappa, which I drank just before, it has the same dryness, but this one is more powerful. I guess that's why it goes well with meat dishes. It goes well with fish.
It was as delicious as ever. I would like to buy this sake again when it is released next time.
