Flavor explosion! If I had to compare it to a ripe apple, I would say it felt like a sweetness, but the flavor won out over the sweetness. The acidity is a nice accent and adds a nice depth of flavor!
It is also made with aging in mind and seems to have a lot of amino acids, which are the source of flavor. It has an amino acid level of 2.5 degrees. I think it brings out the flavor of the food. Also, it sounds like it would go well with vanilla ice cream! When we eat it, its taste will change to a rich ice cream.
It is said that the fourth brewer of the brewery was severely damaged by an earthquake in the Meiji era, and the brand was renamed "Daruma Masamune" after seven falls and eight wakes. Considering the time that has passed and the fact that they are now producing delicious sake in the modern age, it's an auspicious sake.
When I bought it, a 720 ml bottle was about 2,000 yen, but it was about 1,300 yen online. I have to admit, a sigh went out, but it was so good I could have swept it under the rug! LOL!
