<Mixed with lees, gently thickened with a hint of sake lees.
Start with the supernatant.
The aroma is of fresh grapes.
The mouthfeel is slightly sweet and fruity. The nigori-ness that comes out slightly in the latter half of the palate is also a surprise. It is very juicy.
Now, let's try the main dish, the lees.
What?
It has become gentle!
The aroma is less grapey, with a hint of rice flavor.
The mouthfeel is mellow. The timing when both sweetness and piquancy appear has moved back a bit. Maybe that's why the impression is gentler. It's so delicious!
When lees are added, bitterness often appears and the flavor becomes more complex, but I didn't expect it to be gentle. Interesting!
I know it's not Ghibli, but I can compare it to Lana from "Future Boy Conan. She is the heroine. She is a good girl full of kindness. But she also has a strong core that never falters.
Degree of liking: ★★★★
