ほっとりんごTenth drink Sake said to have been drunk often by the late Fujiko F. Fujio This time, I will have a ginjo-shu. The aroma is refreshing and gorgeous at the same time! Grapefruit, apple, lychee, golden osmanthus, herbs, chestnuts, nuts, and a hint of rice and lime. Light on the palate Mild sweetness Refreshing acidity and rice flavor as it passes down the throat The lingering finish is short, crisp, and slightly full. Although it is a ginjo-shu, you can taste the umami of the rice even though the rice polishing ratio is equivalent to that of a daiginjo. The sweetness, acidity, umami, and richness were well balanced. It is relatively easy to match with any dishes as long as the seasoning is not too strong. Sashimi with white fish such as sea bream and flatfish, sushi, carpaccio, fugu sashimi, fruit-based dishes, soaked spinach, etc. seem to go well with it.
