Hori
I received a bottle of Hizirizm Sake Mother Active Sake from Seishuzo.
I had seen it mentioned on social networking sites and was curious to try it.
As the reputation suggests, it was a bit tricky to open the bottle. It is very fizzy, so you have to be careful not to spill it. While chilling the bottle in the bottle cooler, I repeatedly opened and closed the bottle, and from the middle of the bottle, I adjusted the opening angle by less than a millimeter to find the point where the speed of the bubbles rising and disappearing reached an equilibrium. It took more than 20 minutes to pour the bubbles into a glass.
The aroma was fruity itself. It has a sweet, sour, and refreshing aroma, just like apples. When I drank it, my impression was the same: it was so apple-like that it was a wonder that there was no apple juice in it. It is hard to believe that it is made from rice. The alcohol content is 5 degrees, so you can drink it like a juice.
On the other hand, unlike most sake, there is no lingering aftertaste, no change in aftertaste, and no sense of sharpness. It has a very straightforward taste.
I was able to rediscover how complex and mysterious the sake I usually drink tastes.
