Kana Maki
Appearance Sound High transparency, almost colorless but very pale yellow in color, slightly low viscosity.
Nose Moderately high to slightly high in aroma, with hints of sweetness and fresh acidity of fruits and herbs such as green apples, cherry leaves and herbs, as well as faintly full aroma of glutinous rice and rice malt grains. Complexity Moderately high to slightly high.
Taste Sound The texture is smooth and throaty. The aroma is moderate and the length of the aftertaste is also moderate. The first thing you feel is a relatively clear sourness and bitterness like a green apple and herb. After that, it has a plump taste like a dumpling. The bitterness lingers for a long time, but not as long as the overall aftertaste. The aroma is not as assertive as the impression before drinking. There is a sweetness, but more than that, the sourness, umami and bitterness are each clear, but none of them are too assertive, giving the impression of being integrated.
It may be a kokuzake... I think it could be a souzake, but I can feel the aroma rather well. It says "flower yeast", but what kind of flower is it? It's more like an herb than a flower. I forced myself to think of fruit (I didn't know what flowers smelled like...), but it's definitely different from a fruit aroma, and has a bitterness to it. However, it's much milder than most aromas, so it's easy to drink.
