I had a business trip to Osaka for work, so I got some Osaka sake on the way. I chose it because of its beautiful label! The sake has a Sake meter rating of +9, so I guessed before I drank it that it was dry. The first aroma is slightly sweet, similar to that of otters. But there is little lingering aroma, and it seems to fade away nicely and softly. The color is light amber. When you drink it, you first taste a slight sweetness, followed by a moderate sourness and bitterness. After that, a moderate sourness and bitterness spreads in the mouth. When it is poured down the back of the throat, a sharp spiciness that is typical of a sake with a sake strength of +9 spreads from the back of the throat. This sharpness is irresistible. As you continue drinking, this spiciness becomes addictive. This spiciness can also be enjoyed as a food sake. This is my first time drinking Osaka sake, but I would like to try other sake as well! I want to go on a business trip again!
