＜Powerful, sweet and bitter, but beautiful.
The color is a faint yellow, which can be recognized even in tin liquor vessels.
There is not much aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly sweet and thick. But the next moment, the rich sweet and bitter alcohol opens up at once. It is powerful!
Both sweetness and bitterness come largely from the aged caramel and alcohol. But there is also a rich sweetness from the honey.
The alcohol is 17 degrees, but it feels stronger than that. But it is not unpleasant at all. The sweet and bitter alcohol flavor fills the mouth, and the alcohol aftertaste is irritating. But before you know it, only the sweetness remains, and somehow it gives a beautiful impression. Yum!
This sense of alcohol is this sake's strong point. Amazing!
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be the Grand Mamare from "Ponyo on the Cliff. As the name suggests, she is beautiful and scary, Ponyo's great mother. She is the queen of the sea, too big and awe-inspiring but very beautiful.
Degree of liking: ★★★★*
I thought I couldn't find anything about this girl in my search, but it seems to be a PB of a sake store in Toda-gun, Miyagi Prefecture.
