ののさん
This is the first Midama I've had from Ryoseki Shuzo since Hanamura.
It has a mild melon-like sweetness in the aroma. When you put it in your mouth...
The sweetness with a strong impact spreads to the mouth like a flash. The sweetness soaks into the tongue and changes to bitterness and sourness, while a pleasant alcohol feeling leaves the nose.
This is an impressive bottle with a good balance of sweetness, sourness and bitterness typical of Yamada Nishiki, and the impact of sweetness that is similar to Hana Yuu.
The sweetness is cleaner than Hanamura and doesn't linger, so you won't get tired of drinking it.
When the temperature rises a little, the sweetness settles down and the overall balance becomes even better. It's delicious!
