Kab
It is out of season, but it is a summer sake. It was shipped in June last year.
The aroma has a hint of melon or lemon.
When you drink it, you will feel a citrus-like sweet and sour taste, and the umami will expand while it remains sweet. The slight bitterness is felt, and at the end, it changes to a spiciness that finishes off the taste.
After the second day, the sourness becomes a little stronger, but not to the point of being bothersome.
It is well-balanced with just the right amount of umami on top, and is quite excellent. It is more than expected. The bitterness, which is said to be a characteristic of this wine, is only an accent and does not bother me at all.
Has it changed since the beginning of the summer?
