shitakke
Sour and fresh. It is bitter with a hint of orizumi. Since it is a new sake, it has a youthful or fresh impression. There is also a slight acidity that stimulates the tongue. When opened cold, the sweetness is not so appealing. However, as time goes by, the taste settles down and there is a slight sweetness from the rice.
It is best to drink it with a sweet meal. Not that it lacks sweetness, but it was actually a good match.
