First, the supernatant. The color is clear and colorless, with a faint scent of raw materials. The attack is gaseous and ricey, but is immediately followed by acidity and a bitter taste that lingers on the nose.
It is then served with a dash of sake lees. The heady aroma is so subdued that it does not have a distinctive aroma.
The texture gives the impression of rounding out the acidity and bitterness, probably thanks to the help of the sake's tailings.
Since the sake rice is gin-ginga, one would expect it to be a bit sweeter, but it is much drier than expected, which I personally prefer!
It is enjoyable enough on its own. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it has a strong resetting effect, so it would go well with dishes with strong flavors or sashimi 🤔.
On the second day, the top clear liquid has a slightly rounded sweetness and a stronger bitterness, but the texture is the same as ever when combined with the tailings!
