The nose is refreshingly sweet, like a combination of pineapple and banana.
The taste is sweet like pineapple candy with a strong touch of alcohol. The alcohol is strong enough to stick in the mouth as well as the throat.
What started out as a pineapple flavor settles down to a rice flavor, and eventually a slight rice flavor with no stickiness remains underneath.
When air is present, the pineapple flavor becomes stronger and the banana flavor weakens.
The usual*.
This time, however, it is made with "Koshihikari" instead of rice that is suitable for sake brewing. If you think about it, you can feel the familiar soft and slightly sweet taste of this sake. It may look like it is a good choice for a mid-meal saké, but in order to make it taste like the habitual taste of gibier, it is a little sweet. It is not suitable for a normal meal, since food is usually considered to be on the side of the food. It's delicious on its own, so I personally recommend drinking it normally unless you're eating gibier or some other food with a habit.
