Appearance] Slightly greenish crystal
[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 1.5
Acidity: 1.5
Sweetness: 1.0
Umami: 1.5
Bitterness: 1.5
Lingering] Light, crisp, dry type. Alcoholic profile and a hint of umami remain in the aftertaste.
Impression: Gentle, light and dry, typical of Shizuoka sake.
The aroma is subdued, but a gentle, rice-derived aroma quietly wafts through the air. The taste is refreshing and light, but the umami and acidity coexist in good balance.
I expected it to be a ginjo-shu, but it turned out to be a special honjozo (but with a rice polishing ratio of 60%, I can't say I was wrong).
This is an excellent everyday sake as well as an excellent mid-meal sake. An all-rounder that can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
Pairing] Goes well with Japanese food in general, such as grilled fish, dashimaki tamago, tempura, and sashimi.
Repeat Score] 2.0
