This is yeast No.7... A mild aroma reminiscent of citrus. Juicy orange-like acidity and a slight sweetness. It is fresh and has a slight piquancy. As you'd expect from a +7 sake level, there's little sweetness, and the final impression is dry, so it's perfect with oily food!
On the second day, the flavor becomes stronger, and as it approaches room temperature, it becomes banana-like, which is very tasty. It's great with karaage (fried chicken), and it's at its best on the fourth day when the flavor really kicks in!
Kodama-san says it goes well with Italian food, so I paired it with Italian food... delicious!
When it's freshly opened, you can taste the specs, but the flavor after a few days is a quality that can't be measured by "numerical values" such as sake strength. This is a bottle that taught me a new way to interact with sake. I'm sure I'll be repeating it again.
