The third and final bottle in the Sake Sento Horiichi-san series is the famous GAKKI Masamune. I have a bad habit of buying the Challenge Series without drinking the basics.
It is said to be characterized by a low ale of 13 degrees and acidity like strawberry and apple.
The aroma is indeed like strawberry. As soon as you take a sip, you will feel a slight fizziness and light acidity, and it seems to disappear quickly with a refreshing sweetness like a green apple. There is almost no bitterness, and the soft acidity is assertive throughout.
It is similar to Atago no Matsu's "Hitonatsu no Koi". You can drink it easily while thinking that the role of this sake as an aperitif is to keep the sweetness to a minimum and focus on the acidity.
As it gets closer to room temperature, you can see the strawberry in the aftertaste. I'm looking forward to seeing how the acidity changes in the future.
