When opening the bottle, the bottle is opened 5 times (about 2 minutes).
Automatic stirring during opening
Strong gassy feeling
Red apple-like top
The same fruity aroma, slight sweetness, and firm rice flavor as on the first sip, with a refreshing grapefruit-like acidity that spreads quickly and is quickly quenched by a rather firm bitterness.
Although the rice flavor is strong, the sweetness is moderate, and the bitterness and strong carbonation give it a refreshing impression. The aroma is not strong, so it goes well with a meal, but it is also delicious on its own.
Even after the third day, when the gaseous sensation weakens, it is still well-balanced and deeply delicious.
It went well with Kentucky's NY Chicken Burgers spicy buffalo chicken burgers and rich onion BBQ chicken burgers, fried chicken, and french fries.
It also went well with grilled beef tongue.
It also went well with the bonito tataki.

This is another delicious sake 😆👍I heard there is also a spring nigori, but I haven't come across it yet, so I'm curious about it 🤗It looks like a good match with Kentucky ‼️ I'll give it a try 🤗

Good evening, Masa-san! The sake was so good that it changed my image of sake in Hokkaido. lol Like Tasake's Comet, the quality of sake depends on the brewer. The spicy buffalo chicken was also tangy and delicious!
