ひえだの
Sparkling sake is almost always a minefield for me, so I don't really like it, but I had to try the Sando's Effervescente, which has been doing well in PR lately, so I pre-ordered it.
The water color is yellowish.
The aroma is of nuts, butter, and cheese.
As a sparkling wine, the flavor is light. The sourness of the tangerine disappears and the sweetness hits you with a bang.
The butter taste comes later. After that, a little bitterness remains in the finish.
To be honest, I thought it was a bit expensive. But then, when I brought it back to room temperature, the taste became thicker and the excessive gas settled down.
When it was too cold, the flavor flowed away with the fizziness, making it difficult to understand, but as the temperature got higher, the rich buttery flavor came through.
Have you ever heard of BREAD & BUTTER, a white wine that was served at the lunch meeting of the US President? It has an amazing buttery aroma and taste. This is close to that.
It's interesting to see how far the genre of sake can go. But I don't think I'll be repeating it.
I was hoping for a level of perfection as high as that of Sando Yamadanishiki, but this is about as good as it gets. If you want to drink champagne, drink champagne, so you don't have to imitate me, I thought.
