ごう
Genzai Tokkuei.
The aroma is melon-like and fruity.
The acidity is pleasantly tangy, with a soft umami and a hint of bitterness, while a well-balanced sweetness supports the core.
As the temperature rises, the freshness is felt, and the aftertaste fades away with the acidity.
It is not flashy, but the taste is well-balanced.
My personal preference is a sweetness that is balanced and restrained, but easy to perceive qualitatively.
It is better matched with a sake bowl or other sake cups that can enhance the good points of the sake, rather than with a sake bottle that is easily identified as having flaws.
It is a sake that I would like to drink with tempura.
