Collection Review 66
When I first started getting into sake, I was researching which sake I wanted and SENKYO and HIsei were on my radar, so I went to Gunma to buy them. Since that time, this EVOKE has been one of my favorite sakes and I always drank it every year!
It has a standing aroma with a hint of acidity. The hints have a fruity aroma like apples and pineapple.
Sweetness, umami, sweetness, umami, and bitterness appear in this order. You would think that the sweetness would stand out, but it is very elegant.
The sharp and intense acidity moderately suppresses the sweetness that appears here and there. Especially when the wine is cooled, you can feel the best of it.
The fact that none of the flavors are overdone leads to a lightness, which is one of the strong points of this sake. Oh how classy it is. It's juicy and can be drunk all the time on its own. On the other hand, it is so clear that it doesn't linger, so you can drink it with a meal for a long time...the best of both worlds! Normally, they should be opposites, but somehow they are able to coexist in harmony... the best of both worlds!
The more you drink it carefully, the more you can appreciate its greatness.
If you ask me what it is similar to, it would be Kangiku... If you haven't had a chance to drink it, please try to imagine it!
