The aroma is crisp but gorgeous.
It has a slightly long bitter taste that is heavy at first and lingers on the palate.
It is a small sip, but if you drink it heavily, it is bitter and you may not like it...
As soon as it hits your tongue, you feel a little bit of sweetness and a thin lingering bitterness...
If you like sake that is crisp and has a short aftertaste...
You may not like it...
If you want to match it with food, I feel that you have to fight it with tempura and other dishes with strong flavors such as salt or boiled vegetables...
If the food is light in flavor...
I think this sake might make it hard to taste the food...
Personally, I feel it's like shochu (it's a freshly stored sake)...
On the other hand, people who enjoy the richness of sweetpotato shochu might enjoy it...
Personally, I prefer a refreshing type...
