I like sweet and fruity and modern styles very much. However, when I drink a variety of sake, I sometimes want to try a classic. How about Kubota's Aki-agari, which is the opposite of the aforementioned Shinmasa? Here we go!
The slight pear-like sweet aroma, the cool autumnal atmosphere, and the tranquil feeling lured me in, and I started to sip it... Suddenly, the taste comes in with a bang. It has a very thick, muscular body, giving the impression of a strong man's sake, regardless of the vocabulary. However, the umami is concentrated in this gatsuun, and somehow with this body, the corners have been removed and a rounded maturity can be felt. The slight astringency brings a lingering aftertaste, and it disappears, leaving behind a nice sharpness typical of Kubota.
After drinking the sweet fruity, try Kubota next. Aruzoe is recommended if possible. No wonder Kubota used to be more popular than Jyushiyo. I love this kind of sake! Thank you again for the food and drink tonight!
P.S.
Obuse Winery's chabudai is really delicious!
