I saw the liquor store's announcement of its arrival on Instagram and rushed out to buy some. I'm glad I was able to get it.
It has a bitterness like grapefruit and freshness of citrus. Light enough to drink in one gulp. It is the perfect sake for the coming season.
It is not too sweet and the flavor of rice can be felt. It is a sake that goes down smoothly and can be drunk rapidly. I think it goes well with any dishes.
If you're going to do it with fish, do it at Hitakami! As I had mentioned above, we had this with bonito tataki and sea bream araotaki. The dish was refreshing, yet flavorful, and perfect for fish.
This sake was given to me at a friend's house. I didn't have an image of Kumamoto as a sake brewery, but it is a delicious sake that is very easy to drink.
It is like a sweet white wine. With an alcohol content of 9 degrees, it can be drunk easily. It is more of an aperitif or dessert drink than a food wine.
