Shy sweet and sour.
I looked at the menu and ordered it because the name was so funny. I love this kind of parodic wordplay. Do you get the impression that it's a "match seller" in taste?
I've had a sake called "Panda Matsuri" before, and it was really good, so I wanted to drink it again.
When I was waiting for it to arrive, the label! There you are!
No, I don't hate it. If you look closely, the child on the right is a panda. It's just like the Garden of Bamboo.
The aroma is a hint of melon, and expectations are high.
On the palate, it's modestly sweet and sour and bitter. It's refreshing and clear.
It doesn't come across as assertive, but it's impressive. Likes.
They make this sake only in years when they have a good supply of quality Omachi rice. When I hear that, it makes me happier to have found it.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the line from "Witch's Delivery Service" where Kiki says "No" to Sono-san after she gets wet and catches a cold in the rain. It's very maniacal, isn't it? I like Kiki's voice here, it's a mixture of sweetness, embarrassment, and the hardship of a cold, and it's kind of sexy.
Satisfaction Level: ★★★★ .
