酒記「しゅき」
Impressions right after opening the mouth.
I was surprised by the bubbles when I opened it. It has a fizzy feeling like champagne, but the bubbles are fine. It is full of gas.
I would like to cool it down and drink it!
The aroma is astringent but slightly aromatic and sweet. It has a sense of ripeness...like the wood of grapevines. I don't detect any fruit fruit aroma. There is also a dry aroma of rice hulls. After a little time, there is also an apple-like aroma.
I think the aroma itself is quite unique.
The mouthfeel is sharp and chili. There is no aftertaste and it is sharp.
The drinking comfort and atmosphere may be similar to that of beer.
The image of rice hulls that stand out after the tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue.
Chiri-chiri-→volatile freshness of alcohol→sweetness as if passing by on a bullet train→bitter astringency→strength that rises up in a gulp.
Slight sweetness, sharpness, and astringency gave an adulterated adult impression.
After the bubbles are gone, it has a rounded aftertaste, but I personally prefer it when it is freshly poured.
It is not a sake to be enjoyed slowly.
Once the fizz settles down, the sweetness comes out, but I prefer to enjoy it freshly poured.
I would rather enjoy it with an aperitif or a light lunch than with a main meal.
A week after opening, the flavors have become more integrated and the aroma is more pronounced. It is better to leave it for a week!
