Gakki Masamuneオルタナ sorati ace

A sake that is too free to try, encountered at Craft Sake Week.
It was a bottle full of surprise and fun. It was a bottle full of surprise and fun.
The aroma is grapefruit, lemongrass, and a hint of lychee.
It is refreshing, like a white wine or IPA, and when you put it in your mouth, the aroma of hops spreads softly over the sweet rice flavor.
The bitterness of the hops is quite gently suppressed, and the "lightness that is typical of Masamune" takes center stage.
The low alcohol content (12%) makes it easy to drink, but the lingering crisp lemon-like freshness is pleasant.
I was told that this is a test brew using C-type hops (Centennial and Cascade),
It was such an exciting taste that I could see a new saké future.
It made me think, "This is what craft saké is all about!" This is what craft saké is all about!
