What a great and difficult sake. It is very gentle on the palate, with a calm taste and a quiet echoing aftertaste. It is very good to drink with a gentle meal, a simple rice dish with chirimen furikake, but I think it is also good to savor it on its own.
The sour aroma comes first, apple type. Because of the speed of the aroma, it does not interfere with the meal and is very good as a mealtime sake. As the temperature rises, the umami flavor also increases.
Refreshing! Great speed on the palate. Fruity, what is it...grape? Yuzu? I can drink this one with gusto. The yuzu flavor was a great match with the eel.
The sweetness is very elegant, yet the yogurt-like acidity is pleasant, and the slight bitterness that comes at the end is also addictive. The bitterness matched well with the umotan.
A rare sake brewed in a wooden vat. The sweetness is a little strong, but the acidity and bitterness are well balanced. The umami and rich sweetness matched perfectly with sakura shrimp rice.
The first thing that comes through is the aroma, which is ginjo aroma but a bit heavy. However, it is light on the palate, and the slight bitterness is a nice accent. It is well-balanced as a food sake.
The mouthfeel is very clear, but the umami, sweetness, and acidity that are typical of the sake's origins come together in a trinity, and the drink is very satisfying. The aftertaste is very long. I also felt something like yuzu. I could drink it as much as I want.
First of all, the aroma stands out well, pear-like. The mouthfeel is very refreshing, with just a touch of acidity and an aftertaste. The taste is very complex. The taste is quite strong, so it went well with harissa-flavored grilled dumplings.
It has a strong ginjo aroma like a daiginjo, but the aftertaste is quite refreshing and has a strong umami. When it comes back to room temperature, the umami becomes stronger and changes considerably.
Serve at room temperature with Seki horse mackerel and inada sashimi.
The sharp mouthfeel is followed by the sweetness of rice and the fruity sweetness and acidity of apple type, making it a perfect match for bluefish.
It is like a full-bodied, high-quality mirin (sweet sake), but with a sharpness in the back. It goes well with fatty fish in winter, but I would definitely like to try it with bonito or yellowtail in early summer. I will buy it again in the summer!
