It has a mild sweet aroma reminiscent of bananas and a fresh fruitiness like melon, and the elegant aroma of steamed rice spreads and harmonizes in the mouth. The light impression on the palate is followed by a mild sweetness, smooth acidity, and a hint of bitterness that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
We had it lukewarm at the end of the meal.
It has a slightly yellowish appearance, a briny rice aroma, and a robust dry taste. We recommend heating the sake to savor the aroma.
For the fourth glass, I chose Omachi from the three varieties as it was the day of the Hanayo.
It felt like a white wine, just like I had heard. A little cloudy, not as fizzy as Kaze no Mori, and most importantly, muscat-like flavors and acidity.
It has too much character to pair with Japanese food, so it might be better to bring it after dinner. It tasted gorgeous, not like sake in a good way.
The third glass was a Kaze no Mori, which I had hoped to drink.
As expected, it left a fizzy sensation on the tip of the tongue. The bottling is done just before the bottle is filled to preserve the bubbles, and the stocking is also kept to a minimum (which is why it is often sold out).
This was another sake I wanted to taste during the hot season.
The second glass was from a product distributed exclusively at this store. It is a refreshingly dry Niigata sake. More acidic than dry, with a slight banana aftertaste. Little ginjo aroma.
The first glass was an autumn sake. It is refreshing and just right for this time of year when the lingering summer heat is still lingering. It was sweet and a little acidic (the acidity was just as described by the store owner). It was so good that we had to be careful not to drink too much 🎵.
It is very easy to drink like a lactic acid bacteria drink.
It is hard to believe it is sake.
The low alcohol content may be good to change the image of those who don't like sake.
