Both rice and water are produced in Uonuma. Junmai-shu born in snow country. It has a rich umami flavor and a thick umakuchi taste. It is rare to find this much on a label. But the taste is... not fruity. It was rather refreshing. It was rich, but maybe not so characteristic.... For some reason, two drinks in a row today had little impact on me.
It is a light, dry Niigata-style sake with low acidity and a clean aftertaste, but it has a surprisingly rich balance that gives it a solid feel. It is interesting in a good sense that it is made by the Shirotaki Sake Brewery, but it is not like water.
Freshly pounded rice cake, fresh cream, and cypress
Slight hints of white peach and muscat
Compared to Shirotaki Junmai-shu from the same brewery, the taste is in the same direction, but this one is more refreshing.
Uonuma is another brand of Shirotaki Sake Brewery of Kozen Nyosui. This is a food sake that allows you to taste the deliciousness of Uonuma rice.

Great sharpness: ⚔️
You can feel the umami of the rice, but the sense of clarity is much more than that 😊.
The alcohol content is high, so you might not drink too much⚠️⚠️⚠️
Delicious 😋.
Clear and colorless, with aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with a refreshing acidity, moderate sweetness, and a rather short finish.
I wonder if it tastes similar to Kamizen Josui, which is also made by the Hakuryu Shuzo brewery. It is smooth, dry, and light. It is not fruity at all like the rich umakuchi version. It was more different than I expected.
