When the bottle is opened, it pops!
Almost no gas
Slight white grape-like top note
The same light aroma, mild umami of rice, and moderate sweetness as the first sip, spreads with citrus-like acidity, and finishes with a slight spiciness and slight bitterness from the alcohol.
It is a bright and delicate sake that is easy to drink, goes well with meals, and is delicious on its own.
It went well with homemade pickled nigiri made with red vinegared Kushiro tuna medium fatty tuna, slices of sashimi, and egg rolls.
It also went well with bonito tataki from Shizuoka Prefecture.
