I was given a bottle of high-grade sake to enjoy.
Aroma
Highly aromatic...extremely gorgeous.
The citrus aroma comes along with the alcohol aroma. This is citrus. Very fresh. Clear aroma. There is a faint sweet aroma like a lactic acid bacteria drink.
It is not mainly sweet. It is an elegant and fresh citrus aroma. It's nice!
Taste
Smooth on the palate! And the umami of the rice is very pleasant and delicious! The more it rolls around on the tongue, the more the umami of the rice oozes out and spreads from the top of the tongue to fill the mouth!
The acidity is also present along with the umami, and the sharpness is good! The nose is not too harsh, and the sourness passes through the mouth gradually.
Well, there is no doubt that this is a gem.
I can definitely recommend it to those who seek the "umami of rice" in sake.
It is not sweet. But it is smooth and easy to drink. The balance between umami and acidity is truly exquisite.
