タロウ
Flagship made by Takara Shuzo.
Purchased to learn what a major company thinks is good sake.
Stored in a cellar at 10°C for less than half a year.
It is slightly tinted, but is still clear.
The aroma is subdued but strong, with a mix of apple and apricot aromas. There is also a lactic acid-like aroma.
The texture is very smooth. It fits into the body without any stress. After entering the mouth, there is a gentle acidity and a moderate but rich sweetness. Unlike the impression it gives when it first touches the palate, there is a rich flavor spread in the mouth. The texture is smooth, so you feel more fullness?
The lingering aftertaste is quietly long. A pleasantly relaxed feeling that you are drinking a good sake.
This is good. Depending on how you take the volume of sweetness, it may or may not suit you, but it is definitely well thought out.
It is a sake that should be talked about more than it is, although it can't be helped because of its small distribution volume. I think it is a good model for good sake.
I wonder what people who like wine think about this. It's great that a major company is producing this. Keep up the good work! Also, make the labels cooler!
