Sake with a robust rice flavor typical of Hyogo.
The extremely pure rice-like rice flavor and the lactic acidity derived from Yamahai are well balanced, and while the taste is firm, it has a dessert-like sensuality that makes it easy to drink.
There is almost no fruity aroma derived from the popular yeast, but a soft and fluffy sweetness like that of white dumplings or apricot bean curd.
The acidity is moderate, but the flavor has a core, so it can be paired with umami-rich snacks.
However, if you enjoy it with appetizers with strong lactic acidity such as rice-bran paste, tofu, or cheese before a meal, you will be able to get drunk even more comfortably.
It would be an overstatement to say that this sake embodies the orthodox evolution of traditional sake, but I would like to give it that much praise.
