Ushitora (丑寅)

たけさん
Unlike the Oubai sake, which I know all too well, it has a delicious flavor but a refreshing aftertaste, more in the midst of youth than macho. It is hard to match with food. It's not an aperitif, and it's not enough to drink by itself, so it's a very difficult sake to use. I won't drink it anymore.

It has a nice spiciness and a clear, transparent taste that is typical of Saga, and I would like to call it a "refreshingly umami" flavor. There are wines that are a little more refreshing and a little more umami, but this balance may not be possible. It is an excellent food wine that can accompany any dish without losing or winning. The meaning of the panda on the jacket is unknown.

A little sweet and mild. The aroma is also modest, with no pungency, and it seems to quietly fade away. It has a good umami flavor, but the taste is very gentle and has no memorable character, but it can be easily paired with anything.

As the label says, it is sharp and tasty. Is the fruityness citrusy? I thought it was greenish. I couldn't tell.

This is the first time I have seen this sake, but it is delicious, similar to the Ojiro I had the other day. It has a nice acidity that is not too flashy, a slight bitterness that lingers, and enough umami to make you want more. Is this what you call a Shiga sake?
