酔園砂
My first Shinsei! The famous Shinsei! 😆 ...
I chose the R-type because it's the most basic Shinsei, according to the sake shop. The hurdle has been raised to the highest level. 😍
Aroma: A hint of rice.
Lactic acid scent? It's like a well suppressed sour wood bond kind of aroma that's common. Not so much.
Taste: In the mouth, it has a refreshing sourness and a very slight carbonation. The sweetness and sourness are very good, without being too muscat-like.
Aftertaste: The sweetness and sourness are quickly dissipated by a clear bitterness.
General comment: No harsh sour aroma, refreshing and easy to drink 😆.
It's a shame we couldn't get over the hurdle, but that's our fault😢.
