The "mid-paste" is the part of the squeezed sake that drips down without applying pressure from the squeezer. It is soft and aromatic on the palate. It has a fresh aroma like pear, balanced with a full flavor and crispness that only unfiltered, unpasteurized sake can provide. Well expressed.
The pear aroma is accompanied by a sourness that I believe comes from the yeast, or perhaps it is the yeastiness, which is partly to blame for the peariness. However, it is a tasty and robust sake with a concentrated rice flavor.
