Ingredients : Hokkaido rice, rice malt
Rice Polishing Ratio : 70
Alcohol content : 15
Sold at Culinary Restaurant Maru (Chuo-ku, Sapporo)
Slight banana and rice malt topping.
It has the same soft aroma as the topping, with a firm rice flavor and a moderate sweetness that spreads with a crisp acidity and finishes with a hint of bitterness and a bit of spiciness.
It has a strong alcohol taste for its alcohol content and a slightly classical flavor, so it is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake.
The champagne (from Italy) that the owner prepared for my father-in-law's birthday when he came to Sapporo was also delicious, with a pleasant sweetness and aroma.
