こるね＜The sweetness is gorgeous.
All of them are delicious, but this is a very special sake from Kangiku. It is brewed only once a year and is the highest spec sake of Kangiku. The rice is polished to an ultra-high 29%.
The aroma is very gentle, with a hint of pear. It is very elegant.
The mouthfeel is refreshing and slightly carbonated. There is a slight sweet, sour and bitter taste in the middle. The slight bitterness is a nice accent to the pear fruity sweetness and acidity.
The sweetness is the center of the taste, and it spreads out, followed by a pleasant astringent taste in the latter half. Thanks to the sweet and astringent floral notes and aftertaste, it seems to go well with meals. It is delicious.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Gigliola from "Red Pig". Fio's extremely beautiful sister. She is a very glamorous beauty, and she seems to know it. She is a bit more mature and calm than Fio. However, she is still a cheerful Italian girl. In the scene where Fio departs, she happily hands Fio the parts for the conversion, and it's cute how she waves her hands off in excitement.
Degree of liking: ★★★★*
