たけるパパ
Purchased at Ponshukan Echigo-Yuzawa station store.
One of the purchases made during the Niigata expedition. It was recommended by Kikusui at a street vendor.
It was easy to drink because of its low alcohol content of 14 degrees.
It is said to be made with high malic acid-producing yeast, which is found in white wine.
The aroma is of gorgeous apples. In the mouth, the apple acidity spreads quickly, and the sweetness is well supported, but it is also very refreshing.
It does not have the soaked-alcoholic taste that one tends to find in honjozo sake. It is easy to drink despite being a Kikusui.
