Special Junmai, Ancient Capital by Sasaki Shuzo in Kyoto.
It has a clean mouthfeel and a deep flavor. Delicious. With Wakatake (bamboo shoot) stew by Akagakiya. Delicious.
Purchased at Cardi's. It was sold at room temperature, so I drank it at room temperature. It has a refreshing taste and a slight sweetness, which disappears after a while. It is delicious.
