At Shunsai Dining Hachi, Sapporo
Ihyakumangoku 65%, No.7 yeast, Sake degree +2.5, Acidity 2.8
Very fine sludge. The aroma of rice is typical of Japanese sake. In the mouth, the mellow rice flavor and the strong acidity are in perfect balance with a subtle sweetness that spreads like yogurt. It finishes with no lingering aftertaste. There is a lot of orage, but it is a drink that can be enjoyed without any miscellaneous flavors.
If you heat it up to 45 degrees, the bitterness comes out strongly, making you swallow at first sip, but it settles down around 30 degrees and the umami envelops you.
I'm glad I found it.
