Masaaki Sapporo
7.5 points (8 points)
Rice used: 100% Hitogokochi, contract grown rice in Nagano
Alcohol content: 16
Rice polishing ratio: 59
Slightly apple-like finish
The fruity aroma on the top, the moderate sweetness, and the umami of rice spread out, and the slight bitterness and dryness of the alcohol make it go down smoothly.
It is easy to drink, and is good both as a food drink and as a stand-alone sake.
It goes well with yakitori (liver) and smoked gakko with cream cheese.
