The first sip has a fruity aroma and freshness. From the second sip, there is a slight sourness that passes through the nose and a sweetness that slowly spreads in the mouth. After the third sip, the slight sweetness remains gently and happily. The best sake of the day.
It has a round, heavy, umami taste. It is not sweet, but after a big gulp, a sweetness like that of wasanbon spreads in the mouth. It makes me smile. Delicious!
The second drink of the day.
It has a great sharp taste with a moderate acidity and a sense of umami of the rice. It seems to disappear from the palate quickly and easily. I think I'm going to drink too much of this sake.
This is delicious!
The aroma is subdued, and the taste is sweet and delicious. It is good during a meal, and also good for sipping slowly.
It is a robust sake for the latter half of a meal.
It has a good balance of rice flavor, acidity, and umami. I love the taste.
The panda on the label is cute.
The taste is truly deliciously dry. It has a mild aroma and acidity. I drank it cold, but it might be good at room temperature or even warmed.
This is one of the sake I bought this past weekend at the Ozawa Sake Brewery in Ome.
Refreshing and slightly sweet, this is a sake to drink slowly at room temperature or cold. I like it a lot.
Since it is recommended to drink it on the rocks, I drank it half cold and half on the rocks. When served chilled, it has a slightly sweet, umakuchi taste with a hint of rice sweetness. On the rocks, it tastes sharp, light and dry.
The taste is refreshing, as is typical of summer sake. The taste of rice is not too strong, and a slight acidity comes through in the nose. It is a perfect mid-meal sake that does not interfere with meals.
