Impression] Balanced, light and dry.
I was offered a bottle of Hakurakusei, a sake I admire and respect, blind. I was a little skeptical because I thought it looked like Miyagi, but the aroma was more restrained than usual Hakurakusei and I missed it (laugh). But when I found out the answer, my tongue was too stupid to think it was Hakurakusei....
The aroma is restrained, but it has a clear and transparent taste with less flamboyance. It is still delicious.
Pairing] It is an excellent match for "low-key aroma" foods such as sashimi, soba noodles, and simmered dishes with dashi broth.
Repeat Score] 2.5
