[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 3.0
Acidity: 2.0 (lactic acid type)
Sweetness: 1.5 (from alcohol?)
Umami: 2.5
Bitterness: 2.0
Lingering: Strong umami and a hint of alcohol linger for a long time, with a light bitterness in the latter half.
Impression] High-alcohol, rich and dry.
In addition to the umami rice aroma, there are hints of hay and nuts from the aging process. The taste has a punch of alcohol and sugar content, so you can taste chocolate. It has a strong taste by itself, so you will want a strong partner.
But when I diluted it with water to about 15% alcohol and drank it without the alcohol armor, it became a very smooth, flavorful, umami dry wine. I hope everyone will give it a try.
Pairing] Strong flavored stewed dishes and raw chocolate. It went well with Karasumi Soba.
Repeat Score] 1.5
