Review of the Collection 62
This is another bottle that I bought at the Mukou Sake Brewery during a one-day trip to Chichibu. This is the one I personally liked the most at that time among the ones I was able to taste!
The words "light and refreshing sake," "refreshing cold sake," and "slightly dry and smooth," say a lot in a few words.
The aroma is quite light! It only has a faint aroma of grass and grains. I like it this way.
The aroma is very "so-called sake," and although Bukko-Masamune itself is a dry sake brewery that makes its sake with hard water, this "so-called" feeling may come from the image of the name, lol.
However, what is interesting is that it is as smooth and easy to drink as the description says.
From the moment you drink it, a moderate amount of acidity comes out and stays until the end. The sweetness, which may be due to the alcohol or the sake itself, is gently apparent until the middle part of the bottle. The spiciness finishes off with a spiciness. It is a good dry sake with just the right amount of umami.
Sawanoi is also good at this kind of sake. It could be described as an old man's sake, but the acidity is more in line with modern meals. This is good!
