A bottle opened on our wedding anniversary.
This sake is made from a red yeast that turns rosé when inactivated. It has a beautiful light red color with a sweet taste, and the sourness and sweetness come alternately.
When I drank it again the next day, the acidity had mellowed.
Either way, it is very tasty.
Lately, due to the heat, I prefer to drink spicy sake instead of sweet sake, but this one is crisp, clear and easy to drink. This summer, I want to drink refreshing, clear, crisp sake.
Hakutsuru Blanc was created from wine and sake yeast.
When opened, it has a fruity, white wine-like aroma.
But when you drink it, it tastes somewhere between sake and wine.
When I first drank it, the strange taste made me think, "? but once you get used to it, it is easy to drink with a clean taste.
This is the first sake I've had since contracting gastroenteritis, and there is a lingering bitterness in the crisp mouthfeel that I don't like.
I thought it might be because I just opened the bottle, but after an hour of drinking it little by little, it was still there.

I wonder if it will become smoother if it is exposed to air for more time.
Personally, I like sake that is crisp with a hint of sweetness. ☺️
