I happened to drop by a liquor store and found this Ichibanboshi. As soon as I saw it, I realized I had already purchased it. Today we happened to be having taro stew, so I opened it thinking it would go well with it.
The aroma was very sweet and elegant, like melon or muscat. When I drank it in one gulp, I found that the crystal-clear water went smoothly into my mouth. It was pleasant, partly because it was well chilled. A fruity melon-like flavor dominates the palate. The sweetness marries with a slightly tangier acidity than that of the Hakusen, and the end result is a crisp, spicy, and understated finish.
The wine is a little bit spicier and sweeter than the Hakusen. It drinks like water, so if you don't think about it, you'll empty a four-pack of it in no time. I think it would go well with a pot dish with a strong flavor like sweet potato stew. Aizu is a great sake. Other than Toyobai, I liked it more than the other two. Thank you again for your hospitality tonight.
