Tasting report by Sommelier and Sake Diplomat (Mr. Iigo)
First impression: Firm acidity and a fizzy feeling like Sprite on the tip of the tongue. I have the impression that Gohyakumangoku is a light, dry sake, but this sake is both light and dry, with a strong flavor that spreads in the mouth like Yamadanishiki. It has a clean yet voluminous taste.
Balance: You can feel the firm body of the rice. You can also feel the hardness from the hardness of 240 degrees.
