酒記「しゅき」
My impression after drinking all of it in about 2 days of opening the bottle.
The fresh, clean feeling of a glass of sparkling water tickles the nostrils.
There is also a slight atmosphere of freshly cooked rice.
The aroma is quite delicate and thin. Sweetness comes through. There is a complex aroma like bitterness mixed in, but the aroma does not rise.
The palate is clear, with a full, round sweetness like red apple juice and pineapple syrup from a can. The sweetness is delicate, and the lively, squiffy carbonation is very nice. You can fully enjoy the acidity and umami without any alcohol taste.
The complex bitterness at the end of drinking is also a nice accent.
The volume is very high.
Sourness → sweetness → refreshing alcohol volatility and slight bitterness.
It does not feel like you are drinking alcohol because of the acidity in the alcohol volatility. A classy rice juice for adults.
It is a bottle where you can feel the power of rice and the strength of unfiltered, unpasteurized, unpasteurized sake.
I paired it with umani (fried bamboo shoots).
I think it goes well with Japanese dishes with a refreshing taste.
