This is a product that I purchased at a liquor store I stopped by on a trip to Kanazawa, Japan, in the course of a conversation with the owner, even though it had nothing to do with the area. I told the owner that I was not fond of caproic acid pung-pung, and he introduced me to this product. I would have preferred a local sake like Tengumai's Yamahai, but I guess that's just fate, right?
The aroma is mild and somewhat muscat-like. When you sip it, it is fresh and peachy.
At the same time, it has hints of banana and melon, which I personally like. I checked later and found out that it was brewed with No. 7 yeast, so I guess that's why I like the aroma... I also like Kaze no Mori... I think I'll try Masumi next time!
It has a complex aroma, with some floral notes...
The body is surprisingly firm, so the contours are not blurred, and on the first day, I felt the alcohol directly and a bit harsh, but from the second day, it calmed down and I could feel a slight creaminess on my tongue.
The sweetness is only moderately sweetened, so it is a refreshing sake that is perfect as a mealtime drink. Perhaps it is the type of sake that uses alcohol rather than acidity to bring out its sharpness, or perhaps the flavor itself has a sharpness that is not right in the middle of my personal taste, but I enjoyed it because I like its aroma.
