まさし
Satisfaction ★★★★☆
I had been curious about the fancy label for a long time.
I tried it because it has a good reputation in sake brewery.
When I opened the bottle, the aroma of fruit filled my mouth with anticipation.
When you take a sip while feeling a little fizzy, a very strong sweetness like honey rushes into your mouth, followed by a light sourness, and finally a hint of bitterness that quickly fades away.
It is immediately delicious.
The sweetness and complex flavor are strong, and there is a fruity aftertaste after swallowing, with no sawdust smell.
The impression of sweetness and umami is stronger than the impression of the aroma.
It has a good sharpness, so although it has a strong sweetness, you will not get tired of drinking it, and there is no problem at all with it as a mealtime sake.
It does not interfere with meals, but the sake's umami is stronger than the meal.
I am not sure if the umami is due to the omachi or the light nigori, but it is the exact opposite of light and dry.
No wonder it is gaining popularity.
The fact that it does not have a perfect score may be a matter of taste.
