Kaori
The color is yellowish for a sake, about the color of a crisp white wine. The aroma is sweet like concentrated honey, mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, and umami like soup stock. It is about three years old, but it seems to have matured quite well. Rather than yogurt, it is more like fresh cream with a strong mellow dairy feel. The taste is different from the aroma in that it is mainly sour. However, there is a lot of lactic acid in the acidity, which gives a sense of fullness. It has a mellow sweetness, a firm sourness like dairy products, and a lingering umami taste. Perhaps because it is an unblended sake, it has a dense flavor. In the aftertaste and the lingering aftertaste, there is a strange odor like bitterness or astringency, which remains in the mouth for a very long time after swallowing. The water and alcohol mix smoothly, and you can feel that it is matured, but it does not have the feeling of maturation like a super old wine.
