I have been blessed with many opportunities recently, and I have been able to get my hands on some very good tasake. This time, Sotogahama has not been available for a long time. I hope they will continue to release this every year as part of the Challenge Tank series. This is monochrome, let's see how it is!
The aroma may be milder than the standard Tokubetsu Junmai. It has a sweet aroma, a bit like yogurt or fruit punch. The brewing water is pleasantly sweet as usual. From there, a fruit punch-like sweetness envelops the palate. Then, a sourness like that of dairy products descends on the palate. It is like a sake like Hato Masamune. The bitterness and astringency that follows work exquisitely to create a sake that is crisp without being too sweet. I thought this delicate balance was certainly worthy of being judged in a sake competition. Tomorrow, we will have a high quality sake from Sotogahama. Thank you again for your hospitality this evening!
