mayu
A sake you want to enjoy the aroma before sipping. It has a solid acidity and sweetness of blue fruits and a bit of berries 🍏🫐, yet it has a solid thickness and flavor. I think Aizan goes well with a glass of wine 🥂 I don't think it has much gasiness as advertised.
From the website
While most Aizan sake is generally sweet, we emphasize that it is a juicy sake with all the seemingly contradictory elements of acidity, sweetness, umami, and sharpness. Aizan is characterized by its large heart white and easy solubility. To make the most of this feature, we carefully ferment the sake at low temperatures for a long period of time.
The "gravity system*" has been adopted, which leaves a gaseous sensation in the liquid, increasing its freshness and giving it a silky feel on the tongue.
Gravity System...After the top vatting, the sake is not first received in a hanging jar, but is moved directly to a lifting vat at the bottom of the hill by gravity alone, without the use of a pump. The next day, the sake is bottled in a clean room. By reducing the stress placed on the liquid, we have succeeded in bottling the sake in its original goodness.
