7.21 seems to be a full moon in Capricorn. I enjoy a nightcap on the balcony, watching the full moon in the night breeze. I bought "Hitogokochi" (fire-brewed) at Kuramoto today.
It has an aroma reminiscent of the Ramune I drank at a summer festival.
Sweet and sour aroma reminiscent of soda pop at a summer festival.
Apple, peach, pineapple, ... it's still generally Ramune.
The aroma that comes out when you push the stopper of a marble into the bottle and open it. When you push in the stopper of a marble and open it, that aroma comes out.
Clear and transparent, yet sweet and sizzling...that's how I imagine it.
Taste
Harmony of sourness and sweetness on the palate. A sense of sizzle. Easy to drink.
Sourness is felt from the middle. The aftertaste is spicy.
I knew it was sake, not ramune.
As the aroma suggests, the taste is clear and transparent. Not too sweet, not too acidic or pungent, and a sharp taste!
The schwashiness disappears after a little while.
As the temperature approaches room temperature, the sourness and sweetness, as well as the umami of the rice, are revealed.
Summary
Easy to drink, fruity sake. You can enjoy the clear and crisp taste when it is cold, and you can also enjoy the umami of the rice when it is closer to room temperature. It is delicious.
