Hyakujuro大辛口純米酒 赤面
Kana Maki
Appearance Sound, clear, clear, colourless, slightly low viscosity.
Nose The height of the aroma is low to a little low Serpille, faintly Muscat, green apple? Aroma of fresh bitterness and acidity like herbs and fruits.
Taste Sound The texture is mellow but refreshing, and the aroma is low. At first, it has a faintly refreshing sweetness, sourness and umami like muscat and apple, but soon it has a firm bitterness reminiscent of herbs. The aftertaste of bitterness and umami is long, and the umami lasts longer than the bitterness The aftertaste is rather long The sweetness and acidity do not last long, but the aftertaste of umami and bitterness is long, and the bitterness makes it feel sharp, but the umami lasts long Dry
Since it is called "Souzake Dai Dry", I thought it would be more crisp and have no lingering aftertaste. I thought it would be more crisp and not have any aftertaste. But surprisingly, it is crisp but has a long aftertaste (at room temperature). Would it be different with cold sake? I would like to drink it at a different temperature. You can feel the bitterness quite clearly. The acidity is not so strong, but the umami is also strong.
P.S. A few days after opening the bottle, it's delicious even if it's cold! Was it hard at first? It has a mellowness and a bitterness like grapefruit.
