Comparing with the Alpha 6 being tasted at the same day, it is a totally different style. It has much more complexity, and you can smell some kind of new wood in it. This can also be tasted - only slightly so it did not damage the balance of the sake. Overall you can still feel the sweetness from rice grains, with stronger umami like mushroom. When pairing with dishes with much sauce, some fresh cheese taste comes up. Only thing I dont like about this sake is the bitterness is too prominent.
