The second bottle at the restaurant was a sake I had never even heard of before, Kiku-Masamune's Sesession. I usually don't choose Nada sake because I have an image of strong and so-called dry sake, but I ordered it because of a recommendation from the store🍶.
I couldn't have guessed from its brewery name, the bottle design looks like wine or liqueur! I had high expectations even before drinking it, that this would taste different from the Nada sake I know!
The attack was mild. It has the same sweetness as the Shinshu Kamerei I drank earlier, but it has a different sweetness, a stronger sweetness that reminds me of ripe tropical fruits. The aroma of fruit is also strong.
After the sweetness, there is a distinctive sourness, reminiscent of the acidity of plums and other fruits.
The sake/rice character is neither good nor bad; it is a new sensation. Moreover, the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
It was a delicious sake that made me think it is important to try a variety of sake without having too many preconceptions about the region or brand 😄.
