A rather unusual sake brewed with wine yeast. It has a grape-like aroma and a slight astringency like wine. The attack and finish are mild. No wonder the concept of making sake that goes well with Western food.
Kubota was recommended by an acquaintance and was discounted at the supermarket, so I bought it without a second thought.
It has a clean attack and aftertaste, and is suitable for a mid-meal drink. The sweetness and acidity are both moderate. It tastes neither good nor bad, but it is not assertive. Even those who don't like dry sake can drink it.
First hiyaoroshi of the year
Gorgeous aroma when poured.
Refreshing and mildly sweet, but with a sharp finish.
Looks like it would be good as a food sake.
Citrusy nose with muscat-like juiciness. The attack is not strong but leaves a strong impression. In a good sense, it is a sake that is not like sake. It has a clean taste with no clutter. It has a moderate bitterness and gasiness. When warmed to lukewarm, it becomes mellower and less angular.
Refreshing, orange-like acidity.
Easy to drink without any habits. Seems to go well with everything.
It has a gaseous taste.
Compared to Kaze no Mori, which we compared, it seems to be a royal roadside wine that can be drunk easily.
Strong attack with sweetness, acidity and astringency.
The aftertaste is dry and sharp, well-balanced.
Aromas of muscat, grapes and pears.
There is a gaseous feeling due to the sake being unpasteurized.
Smooth, well-balanced and delicious sake

Firm and sweet with a sweet taste.
Perfect for those who like sweet sake.
It is not suitable for a mealtime sake because of its strong sweetness. But it is perfect for enjoying while picking up an entrée.
