Goro-hachi!
It is a seasonal tradition!
But I didn't realize this was a liqueur, not sake.
Shocking, yet easy to drink.
Well, there is a liqueur too, I thought.
Yes, it makes sense!
Anyway, it's Gorohachi!
4.0
Apple, stinkbug
Strong acidity, with a hint of sweetness
Bitter aftertaste
Strong effervescence
Blended with 80% Akitsuho and 10 year old sake
Aroma of old sake is not well utilized.
Off-flavor of 80% polished sake is noticeable
Rated 3.3 for cold sake
Since it is recommended as a heated sake
Re-evaluate as heated
Apple, banana Fresh and fruity aroma, but with a noticeable alcohol smell.
Sweetness and acidity are present, but the bitterness of alcohol is noticeable.
The 80% polished rice has backfired, the taste is not sharp, and there is a lack of gassiness.
3.5
Apple
Sweet, sour, bitter, umami
Taste precedes aroma
Alcoholic taste is too strong at 19 degrees Celsius
Expectations are high because it is a limited-edition unpasteurized sake from a brewery.
But it was not as impressive as I expected.
3.6
Apple, yogurt
Slightly effervescent, acidic, dry
Refreshing aroma, light and slightly effervescent, easy to pair with food.
It is easy to match with food.
It would be nice to have a more gorgeous aroma and a hint of sweetness.
4.0
Gentle, full-bodied depth of ogara-mi
Slight ginjo aroma, no other aroma
Dry, with a hint of alcohol
The bubbles are quite fine.
Kaze no Mori is better
Price-wise
3.7
Light, mild aroma, ginjo aroma
Dry, a little acidity
Slightly alcoholic
I prefer the use of Yamadanishiki because it gives a more gorgeous aroma and sweetness.
Kaygetsu will continue to choose Yamadanishiki blends.
