The label looks like wine.
I was told that it goes well with oysters, so I went to the local supermarket to buy some fried oysters, but they were not available, so I was forced to buy smoked oysters from Seijo Ishii and paired them with this sake.
The aroma is subdued, but the taste is robust. The acidity and bitterness are moderate, and the sweetness is strong and mellow.
Unfortunately, smoked oysters, with their concentrated flavor, did not go well with this raw sake. Since it went relatively well with Sanbaizu raw mozuku, fresh, milky raw oysters seem to be the best match, even though it is out of season (there is a picture of raw oysters on the back label as well). ).
This sake is said to be a sake that goes well with oysters, prepared with white wine yeast, and I imagined it to be a minerally, refreshing, dry sake like Chablis, a white wine from Burgundy, France, which is said to go well with oysters, but it is rather sweet, reminiscent of a noble rot wine from Sauternes, which is totally different It was.
The alcohol content is 13 degrees (it has a firm body, so it may be an undiluted wine). It is perhaps because of its low alcohol content (13%) that it has a sense of residual sugar, as in wine. I personally think it could be fermented more and made slightly dry.
