Fusano KankikuTrueRed雄町50純米大吟醸おりがらみ無濾過生原酒
まさし
Satisfaction ★★★★★
This is the first True Red in two years.
When the bottle is opened, the sweet aroma of Kangiku makes our expectation grow.
The bubbles are strong, and although there are some fine bubbles on the cup, it is not highly carbonated.
When it is sipped, it has a pineapple-like, rummy aroma, a strong sweetness, and a moderate acidity that quickly wears off.
There is no bitterness or sawdust smell in the aftertaste.
The sharpness of the sake keeps you from getting tired of drinking it and keeps you drinking more and more of it.
The sweet and delicious acidity is typical of Kangiku, and it is as delicious as ever.
The sweetness does not interfere with meals, and there is no bitterness.
I remember it was sweeter two years ago, but this year it is not too sweet and is more balanced.
Kangiku's sake is easy to find and consistently tasty, and is in the lead in the number of sakes we have checked in.
I am not sure if I should try more.
Two days after opening the bottle, the sweetness is just as I imagined it would be.
I am always fooled by this taste change.
