さんちゃん
Rice used: Yamadanishiki (Koji rice), Gohyakumangoku (Kake rice)
Polishing ratio 55
ALC: 16%.
This sake is also offered on ANA's international first-class flights.
The initial aroma is elegant and sugary. In the mouth, it tastes sweet like molasses and sweet potato, with a slight pickle-like aroma, which later turns into astringency. However, it is not a negative thing, and all the flavors are expressed as elegant taste.
Personally, I think it is a delicious but tiring sake, so I would just drink it after one or two glasses of another sake.
If you want to match it, meuniere or shellfish dishes are good.
