Masaaki Sapporo
8.5 (8 points)
Ingredients: rice (100% Ginpu produced in Aibetsu-cho, Hokkaido), rice malt (Hokkaido rice)
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Alcohol content: 16% abv.
Silent when opened
No gassiness
Slight melon-like top note
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, the soft umami and sweetness of the rice spread out with a moderate acidity, and the wine finishes quickly with a slight spiciness and slight bitterness from the alcohol.
The overall balance is calm and gentle with a slightly classical feel. Although not spectacular, it goes well with food and is also delicious on its own.
