First Izumo sake!
Uitatekoso gives the impression of a calm, rice-derived grain aroma.
Despite the rice polishing ratio of 70%, the lingering aroma is reminiscent of yogurt rather than a cloying taste.
After the umami taste, a refreshing bitterness sets it off, so it is best served cold 🤔.
I thought this sake was like a combination of Kaoru-shu and Mochu-shu (I was also having a lot of cups, so I am not sure if I was able to feel the fine flavors...)
