Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2024 Gold Course
Dry and ruggedly made. Some bitterness like bitter chocolate.
It rounds out a bit with time, but I'm still not used to drinking sake with such strong claims.
The body is robust and calm, as is typical of hiyaoroshi.
The main flavors are sourness and bitterness, but it is a little difficult to drink and would make a good mid-meal drink.
The mouthfeel is fluffy and banana, but the body is juicy with pears and white grapes.
I love the way it always has a constant bitterness and is not sticky and can be drunk all the time 🥰.
Yellow malted rice-like acidity and the complexity of the wooden vat.
It is a little bit flabby when it is cold. It might be better when the temperature is higher.
