Aroma is mild. Slightly lemony?
The taste is also a little sweet and sour citrus, with a delicious rice flavor and a hint of bitterness that gradually pulls you up.
Although it is from Aomori and Tsugaru, it is not apple but lemon 😅.
It is moderate to slightly modern, but it starts with sweet and sour, and then pulls up with umami sour and bitter, and the sourness and umami of rice are characteristic.
I kept it at room temperature for a week after receiving it and in the fridge for a week before opening the bottle, but it didn't drop at all on the second to fifth day after opening, and it seems to change to orange-like sweetness day by day, which is strong.
It is a sake with few flaws as it is from a regular gold medal winning brewery, and although it is modern, it is not overly so and can be served with food. It is a sake from Tsugaru, but surprisingly, it is also good with light salads and grilled fish to bring out the sweetness.
Although it is not as glamorous as Jyozora and this one (although the rice is "Hana-sayaka"), I think it is more than enough for the front line of local sake. The strength before and after opening the bottle is also common.
The Aomori sake series was a bonanza that exceeded my expectations 😄.
