りょう
Purchased at a local sake shop specializing in sake, drawn by the label design and the overall impression of the bottle.
The first sip surprised me with a bitterness beyond my imagination. Is this good? As you take the second and third sips, you become accustomed to the bitterness and at the same time you notice that the alcohol taste is getting stronger. Then you notice that the sweetness remains at the end. But the intoxication soon fades. It is refreshing, leaving a bitter taste on the upper jaw and throat.
To be honest, I could not find out what I should drink it with this time.
As the name "Matsumidori" suggests, it is as if one bites into a pine leaf and feels the bitterness and greenness of the leaf. It has been a long time since I have had sake, and this was a new encounter. It is said to be an autumn-aged one.
