Matsunokotobuki純米 とちぎ酒14 八割八分 燗美味し 2019BY
Kab
It is quite colored and has an alcohol-like aroma.
From 45°C.
It is quite bitter and somewhat nutty.
There is also a caramel-like sweetness that is sweeter than syrup. The umami flavor appears at about the same time, but it is not very noticeable. The bitter or pungent taste is nice and sharp. When it cools down, the bitterness is a bit strong.
When the temperature is raised to 50℃ or 60℃, the caramelized taste increases and the bitterness and sharpness disappear.
The best temperature is 60℃. When it is cooled down, it has a sour taste.
It is a sweet, matured sake. It is similar to Gunma Izumi, but milder.
It has a good sharpness, and the umami is not as full as it should be for a matured sake, but if you think of it as such a characteristic, it has a high degree of perfection.
The weather suddenly became cooler, and together with the Manazuru sake we had earlier, it was a sake suitable for the season.
