Sake with a simple label and a typical Niigata name.
This is at room temperature.
It has a sweet banana aroma. It has a sweetness reminiscent of syrup, but it is not so strong, and the acidity is mild. The impression is that it is dry, with the umami and the alcohol being the main ingredients.
It is best paired with autumnal flavors.
The juiciness seems to increase when it is cooled. It changes quite a bit.
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content: 17

The cap was plain silver, so it was not photographed.
Refreshing aroma and fruity acidity.
I had had it at a restaurant but honestly couldn't remember what it tasted like, and this time I was able to sample it at the liquor store but I was driving and couldn't drink it... I brought it home and was satisfied with the taste 😆.
I've been drinking more sake now that the temperature has calmed down a lot 😅.

Pleasant, light ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it is a refreshing sake with a mild flavor, soft acidity and bitterness, and a slight stimulation on the tongue.
Evening coolness...for snacks, eggplant nanbanzuke (pickled eggplant) that has soaked up the flavor and cooled down perfectly 😋🥰.

The third one is a humble one.
Fruity aroma but subdued.
Slight apple and muscat aroma.
The first sip was sweet, contrary to what I expected.
Since it was a Niigata sake, I imagined it to be light and dry, but it was mellow and umami, with a concentrated flavor of rice that made the snacks go faster and faster 😋.
We became friends with the regulars sitting next to us and had a lively sake discussion, drinking Kenshin together.
