It's been a while since I've had a day off again. Thankfully, I have been having a lot of drinks with someone recently, and when that happens, I forget to post because of all the drinks and food in front of me, and most of all, all the conversations that pile up.... This time, I couldn't help but drink a test brew of the recently popular Garakudai! I had to try it! First of all, the black label caught my attention. Black labels are often used for "Dai-harai" sake, but what is it? It has been hot recently, so we started with the sake in a snow-cooled state! The first thing that hits the palate is the freshness of green apples, which is refreshing. At the same time, the taste and alcohol hit the palate with a thump! The mouthful of flavor and alcohol spreads to fill your mouth, and you are instantly in a state of "It's not like Hiyori, it's not like Hiyori! It's not like Hiyori! But then, a hint of gas drowns it all out, and the aftertaste is as quiet as if nothing had happened. Yeah, it's so delicious (vocabulary)! I personally think that Garakudai's image is that of a soft, easy-drinking, modern type, but this was not just that, it was a bottle that gave me a sense of a definite "next step" that is typical of test brewing.
