This year, too, we have the electric chrysanthemum from Kangiku. Last year, I felt the power of Kangiku Meikyuu for sure, so I bought it again this year.
In a word, "pop"! It has all the elements that everyone seems to like. The fresh mouthfeel, the fruity aroma, and the juicy sweetness when mixed with the sake lees is nothing but pop.
As for the aroma, is the banana-like aroma a little stronger this year? On the first day, there is an impression that it is a bit harsh, whether it is due to the vigor of the mouthfeel or because of this aroma.
After the second day...it's really easy to understand and delicious! I have the impression that it has calmed down a bit and the spikes have been removed. The aroma is similar to banana, the flavor is typical of the sweetness of the tailings, the acidity doesn't let it linger, and the bitterness adds an accent at the end.
The acidity that keeps the wine from lingering is actually doing a great job, and no matter how much you drink, you will never get tired of it. The reason why it is so easy to drink may be because the flavor is not too persistent or assertive.
I consider sake that can be drunk in a flash before writing down my impressions to be good sake, and I think this is one of those kinds of sake.
