I ordered a bottle of this sake because it was so delicious when I tried it. I thought it was a mildly sweet sake, but it was sharp and dry. Interesting. It tastes sweet at the moment you first put it in your mouth, but it is a very refreshingly dry sake. It went well with the green tea churros we ordered for dessert. Thanks to this wonderful store for introducing me to such delicious sake.

This is a cup that came in a Junmai Ginjo trial set. It is delicious. It is clean and dry, but the umami of the rice is strong. The aftertaste is also beautiful.

This is another cup that was included in the trial set. It is made from "Hyakumangoku No Shiro," a sake rice unique to Ishikawa Prefecture. It has a strong rice flavor with a clean aftertaste. It was delicious.

The dry rice flavor works well, but you can drink it all the time.
The aftertaste was too good as well as refreshing.
I personally preferred it cold or room temperature.
I drank Komatsu's Shinsen for the first time.
It has a slightly dry aftertaste, which is nice while eating Kanazawa's specialty, kabayaki loach.
(Personal opinion).
Cold.
Not so sweet but sweet and sour.
Full of rice flavor.
It also has a strong sense of alcohol.
The bitterness is also good, and it is a powerful and tasty sake.
The quality of this sake is very similar to that of the Soko-Kan sake that I drank before.

Next is Shinsen from Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
The low alcohol content makes it refreshing and easy to drink.
It was a unique drink with a firm richness and a slight sweetness followed by a crisp sharpness.
After a short pause, it became mellower and more mellow, giving it a different mouthfeel. However, the core flavor remained the same and was very distinctive.
