I haven't done sparklers in years. I haven't done actual sparklers for years, but I think it's been six or seven years since I did sparklers with sake. I think I drank it at a time when SENKOUGOU had been stripped down and I didn't like its taste very much. I used to like it until a year before that.
The aroma is infused with an acidity that you can imagine the direction of the flavor from the aroma. I would like to know the name of this type of acidity today.
First impression is "sourness"! And from there, it is refreshing, like a spud. There is no imbalance caused by a weak umami, which is common in low-alcohol sakes with this kind of acidity! As the manager said, the umami taste also swells up later on, just as the flavor is well expressed. No, it was more like "gushing out" than "expanding," and there was a surprising feeling of something that should not have been there!
This feeling of "sizzling" is similar to the feeling of being impressed by sparklers that can pop so beautifully.
If you handle it roughly, you will not be able to enjoy the true flavor of the sake, and if you drink it in a gulp, you will not be able to appreciate its quality.
I feel sad that this summer is coming to an end.
