タロウ
I've never drank much Sake.
I drink sake at izakaya (Japanese style pubs), but to be honest, I don't really know what sake tastes like at izakaya. The temperature and cleanliness of the tableware is unknown.
It is said to be the hottest sake in Sesshikoyama.
The color is clear.
White flowers and fruits. Pineapple, melon. A little bit of muddy koji (malted rice).
The taste is indeed dry, dry and tangy, but the sweetness is also there, and the sweetness and mineral-like astringency are the main taste. It is not particularly tasty, but with buckwheat noodles, this kind of sake is better than one with a strange sourness.
When heated, the sweetness increases, but the overall balance remains the same. Even though it has a high sake content, it is a bit different from Sanin-style sake. The sweetness is rather strong.
It has a nuance similar to the minerality of Ryuriki. This may be a good thing, since they wanted to make a spicy sake anyway.
