The color is slightly yellowish, with an apple-like ginjo aroma that is more of an ethyl caproate type.
On the attack, a banana-like sweetness spreads, gradually followed by a fresh pineapple-like bitterness and acidity.
This is the first sake brewed with Aizan.
The sweetness and umami are robust, similar to Yamadanishiki, and the Hououmida character adds to the enjoyment of even beginners!
I had purchased this as a little treat for myself since I recently passed the second level of the sake proficiency test 😆.
The next test will be in September, as the examinations up to Level 2 are online, but from Level 1 onwards, the examinations will be taken on site.
I have time, so I will study with the textbook, but I also want to make sure I study sake well with my evening drinks! LOL!
On the second day, the corners of sweetness round out a bit, with a thickened banana-like flavor and mild acidity to finish. Personally, I prefer this one!
