The aroma is modest, but umami aroma.
The bottom of the bottle has aromas of pears and apples, but they are not that strong.
The taste is also umami. There is a sense of pickling.
It has a strong lactic acidity.
It can be balanced with strong flavors.

Sasashu drinking comparison.
It seems that the Sasa series is all unfiltered sake.
This one is a different kind of sake made from unshaved Koshihikari (rice). But I like it a lot because of its beautiful acidity.
Repeat Score 2.0
It is sweet and certainly tastes like candy, but it is as sweet as eating white rice and goes surprisingly well with side dishes.
Not only is it sweet, but it also has a refreshing aftertaste that is delicious and makes sake and food go further!

Junmai sake from Nishikan, Niigata City. This locally produced sake is brewed with four varieties of rice (Gohyakumangoku, Kame-no-o, Koshihikari, and Koshitanrei) from four local farmers in Nishikan. It has a refreshing taste with a light and dry taste typical of Niigata.
