I haven't done sparklers in years. I haven't done actual sparklers for years, but I think it's been six or seven years since I did sparklers with sake. I think I drank it at a time when SENKOUGOU had been stripped down and I didn't like its taste very much. I used to like it until a year before that.
The aroma is infused with an acidity that you can imagine the direction of the flavor from the aroma. I would like to know the name of this type of acidity today.
My first impression is "sourness"! And from there, it is refreshing like a spud. There is no imbalance caused by a weak umami, which is common in low-alcohol sakes with this kind of acidity! As the manager said, the umami taste swells up afterwards. No, it was more like "gushing out" than "expanding," and there was a surprising feeling of something that should not have been there!
This juwajuwa feeling is just like a sparkler, and it pops so beautifully...
Just as you can't enjoy the real pleasure of potpourri if you handle it roughly, you can't appreciate its goodness if you drink it gulping it down, or it is an even better sake if you taste its proper development in your mouth.
It is already winter, but I drank it on a day when the lingering summer heat was still intense. I will buy it again next year.
