I found it delicious when I got it for a drink outside and bought it out of sheer force of habit.
Shupon! I opened the bottle. The aroma is sweet rummy and pineapple fruity 🍍.
When you take a sip, it's chili-swirling and you can smell the pineapple softly. The sweetness comes on quickly, but the sourness is quickly followed by the bitterness.
It is sweet but refreshing and still delicious.
As the day goes by, the bitterness seems to increase a little. The sharpness and clarity also increased, giving the impression that it has changed to a more refreshing and crisp style.
I am glad that it has become more refreshing, but I think I like it better right after the bottle is opened because I can feel the slow and steady flavor more.
I feel that many Nagano sake, including this Hosoyuki, are made with a rice polishing ratio of 9%. Is there a reason for this?
