Modest at the entrance, almost imperceptible except for a slight cream acidity at the back.
On the palate, the swelling rice flavor is quickly followed by bitterness and slightly sharp acidity on a clear, clean mouthfeel with a slight carbonation.
I guess you could say that it is a deliciously clean sake with a firm dry sharpness.
However, if umami is one of the characteristics of this sake, I would like to have more time to savor it in the middle part. The dryness comes after it quickly and the bitterness is a bit strong, so I was left with the impression that the sake was somewhat busy and not very well-balanced. Even if I warmed it up (or changed the temperature), I think it would still be a bit tough.
It is clear, umami, and beautiful, so I would like to see the dryness in the latter half of the bottle be controlled more 😆.
