酒記「しゅき」
Impressions after just opening the bottle.
A low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 12 degrees.
When poured, it is slightly bubbly and slightly effervescent in the glass. The aroma is quite delicate or almost nonexistent. It has a slight muscat flavor...
The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was the image that it was a "sake yeast yeast" of the "sake yeast" type. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was the image that it was a "sake brewer's sake".
It is a sake with a subtractive effect, as if it has been stripped of its uselessness. I felt the lightness and the deliciousness of the rice, as if it was wrapped in air.
Immediately after pouring it into a glass, there is a slight chili sensation that slightly irritates the tongue,
After a while, the chili sensation disappears, but the aftertaste is like the taste of rice that is well polished and transparent.
The drinking experience is similar to that of soda water.
It is amazing that you do not feel any alcohol at all.
Airiness → chili sensation → slight acidity → rice flavor
The umami is beautiful yet energetic, like the clarity you feel at the top of a mountain or a clear glass artwork without a single cloud.
This is the kind of sake I want you to drink, which is difficult to convey.
Sake is often compared to the aroma and taste of fruit, but this is a sake that is all about water and rice, and there is no way to describe it.
It is like the wind when you hit the target in Kyudo (Japanese archery). It is refined.
I like the simplicity of the menu, although it seems to be good with any ingredients.
