When the bottle is opened, it is very soft and gaseous.
Moderate gassiness
Pale melon-like topping.
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, the firm umami of rice, and a moderate sweetness spread out with the spiciness of the crisp alcohol, and are quickly quenched by the moderate acidity and bitterness.
It has sweetness, but the spiciness of the alcohol spreading at the same time and the firm umami of the rice make it well-balanced and delicious. It is good both as a mealtime sake and as a stand-alone sake.
On the second day, the aroma settles down and the balance between sweet and spicy is even better, making it deeply delicious.
On the third day, the aroma is more grape-like, but still pleasant and delicious.
It went well with bonito tataki (I am in charge of cutting the sashimi, so I often use the 8" white nigirizumi), fried oysters, and fried shrimps.
It also went well with a salad with pietro plum dressing (could be used for octopus or white meat carpaccio).
It also went well with Mont Blanc.
It also went well with eel on top of a bowl of rice.

Hello, Masaaki.
This is a very sharp willow blade!
And it's made of steel?
Very authentic!

Thank you for your "like", Mr. Sakeran! Since I grind at home, I put the highest priority on sharpness without a threaded blade, so it cuts very well! Steel rusts and is a pain to maintain, but that's only when eating sashimi...
