まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★★ I bought a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho a while ago and tasted it on New Year's Day. When the bottle was opened, it had a melon-like aroma, but it was not too bright and restrained. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and umami spread out with a gusto, and then you feel a hint of sourness, but then it quickly fades away. It is sweet but not too sweet, not too sour, and just delicious. If I had to compare it to something, it would be like a grape. This is another great sake. I am not an omatist, but I was completely taken in by the complex flavor that is typical of Omachi. It is best as an aperitif, as it tastes a little bitter when served during dinner. I will drink it before a meal.
