Taste Sound The texture is smooth, but also crisp afterwards. The aroma is medium. At first, it has a grainy aroma and bitterness like rice malt or ponzu, and fruit-like acidity and sweetness. The sweetness is like a syrup. A beat later, you feel the umami. The length of the aftertaste is rather long The aftertaste of the acidity is not long, but the aftertaste of the sweetness and umami is rather long. However, the aftertaste of bitterness is longer than that, and there is no sense of slackness. The longest is the aftertaste of umami and bitterness.
Can I call it a scented sake? The aroma is high, and it's not an aged or grain aroma. But the taste is gutsy and thick, partly because it's aged for a year. You can drink it with ice. It's also good with ice, but personally, I like to heat it up.
