Iyokagiya無濾過味口本醸造
ほっとりんごSixth glass
Mild aroma, sweet with light melon and muscat notes.
Gentle mouthfeel, with a refined but firm rice flavor and a hint of sweetness, and a bitterness that adds depth to the taste, but still with a moderate expansion of flavor.
The acidity is not strong, but the bitterness remains.
Because it is a honjozo, the aroma is slight, but it has a soothing scent of fruit.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami as it is called "Ajikuchi".
It has a good harmony with the bitterness underneath the umami and moderate sweetness, but the overall impression is moderate.
It is difficult to say that it is a good sake by itself. However, as a sake-within-a-sake, it is very easy to match with the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine, and the umami and sweetness go well with the food.
On the contrary, it is difficult to make the best use of each other because the sake is overpowered by strong flavored dishes.
