Purchased on the word of the manager that the flower picking was clearly better than last year.
It has a light yellow with grayish tints. Good thing I could check before mixing the tailings - lol!
The aroma is an apple-like ginjo aroma similar to the Jyushiyo and Mutsu Hachisen I have had recently.
Tasted the supernatant first.
Contrary to the package, I could taste a bit of bitterness from the beginning, but it intensified until the second half. It is a strange sake with sweetness and bitterness coexisting. The sweetness and bitterness are withdrawn a little while the umami and acidity are also present in the middle of the bottle. It is interesting that the sweetness and bitterness are felt again, and the final taste is more refreshing than expected.
When mixed with the tailings, the rough bitterness is slightly suppressed and the overall taste becomes a little more refined. If I were to use a metaphor, it is like an energetic child from the countryside who has tried to dress up to go to the city center to have fun. LOL!
I did a lot of swirling to get the glass in contact with the air on the third day, and I liked it a lot. I don't know why I didn't do it earlier...it's too delicious. I regretted that I need to get into the habit of swirling anyway if I think it's too rough.
