Matsu Midori is a summer jun-dai that I drank last year.
As usual, I like it if it has a modest ginjo aroma. This one has a classy aroma, just as I expected.
After a series of light sakes such as Natsu no Hijiri (Sacred) and Mutsu Hachisen Wine Yeast, I enjoy a medium saké with a strong umami flavor. Easy to drink, yet very drinkable!
Regardless of my personal situation, this sake suddenly has a bitter taste. It is such a nice accent that even those who don't like bitterness may become okay with bitterness after this (really?). I'm so glad you like it!
Although it is a food sake, the sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness come all at once, making it a very enjoyable sake that can also be drunk on its own.
The acidity is not strong, but it balances out the overall flavor!
It is crisp and refreshing like a summer sake, but it is not lacking in any way! So it's good on a hot day, or even on a day when it's raining and the heat has calmed down, it's an all-around warrior that will satisfy you!
Personally, when I opened it up, it was the best tasting saké I've had all summer!
