Storehouse Review 76
I have had three Hiroshima sakes (Amego no Tsuki and one Tomikunaga), and they all give the impression of being of high quality and soundness. The conclusion is that this one is no exception, and although it is not flashy, it is certainly tasty.
It was closed just before it exploded, but it overflowed a little. It took about 10 minutes to open the bottle while wiping it clean. It's a very energetic sake!
When I drank it... it was fizzy as usual, but it was definitely in the category of a micro-fermentation. I learned that the blowout and the mouthfeel are two different things. However, the mouthfeel has a certain amount of fizz and a small attack, so I imagine it to be more refreshing.
The aroma is like lactic acid that reminds me of sweetness, and it gives the illusion of being sweet until the moment you take a sip, but it is really not sweet at all, just a strong sense of umami.
The aroma is slightly banana-like with a hint of alcohol and sake. It is a dry muddy sake that is easy to understand and is meant to be paired with food. Personally, I can drink it on its own, but it is most effective during a meal to show its potential. It goes well with strong flavored fried chicken!
