＜The strange, strange taste is slowly developing.
The aroma is "Al-Umapon". Alcoholic flavor is tingling, but not unpleasant. Mysterious!
The mouthfeel is also strange. It has all the elements of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness, but not any of them. From there, the umami gradually starts to come through. It is neither matured nor gruesome, but a strange flavor spreads and continues in the aftertaste. It is peculiar but addictive.
It is suitable as a food wine. For Japanese cuisine, it would be good with thickly simmered dishes. It is also good with Chinese food.
As it warms up, the acidity opens up. It has the sweet and sour taste of Valencia orange and the bitter taste of orange peel. But it seems to be different from the citrusiness of white yeast rice.
If we compare it with Ghibli, it is like Mr. Caproni in "The Wind Rises. He is a famous Italian airplane design engineer who appears in the dreams of the main character, Jiro. He is a mysterious man. He is very peculiar, but I don't feel bad about it. In fact, he is Jiro's target. He is also the Mephistopheles who inspires Jiro. Oh, by the way, this sake seems to go well with Italian food.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
