Compared a white and a black Laughing Four Seasons. The black one is beautifully delicious. To be honest, there is a slight difference, but the white one is more fruity, so I would recommend the order of white to black.
Yamamoto's drinking comparison. After the nigori, the next one was Dosharashi. It has a high sake content and is dry compared to the nigori. It is a type of sake that can be served with a variety of dishes.
Gorgeous fruity bottle with lychee-like aroma. Unfiltered, made with Niigata rice, 16%. It is a sake for adults with a robust flavor and body that is not too sweet.
Judging from the white snowman label, it was probably milky anyway, right? I expected it to be milky, but that was not the case at all. Rather, it is a Christmas sake with a scent and acidity reminiscent of the flavor of the pine muscat. I would recommend it as a toast!
This sake is made with 70% polished rice at 15 degrees C. Because of the 70% content, it still has a graininess that is more mellow than mellow sake, but overall it is clean and easy to drink.
This year's first seasonal sake, Akatombo. A light white wine-like sake with a grapefruit aroma and acidity that makes for a refreshing drink. There is nothing more to say about this popular sake.
Since it was aged in ice for 6 years at 17 degrees Celsius, one would expect it to be an austere aged sake, but the water is not that yellowish and has no peculiarities, making it easy to drink. However, the light taste is followed by a feeling of grains from the 60% polished rice and a tingling sensation on the tongue, giving it a certain character that is typical of a strong sake. This is a very strong hard-boiled father's sake.
