I bought it because it was a limited edition, shipped only one day a year...
The aroma is gorgeous, typical of Eiko Fuji, but the sweetness is moderate and the second half is quite dry.
It is easy to drink with a light, watery mouthfeel!
I think it is a modern dry wine that is a gem for any drinker.
I want to drink it again.
It's like a fluffy spread.
Rare, apparently.
The restaurant we went into was celebrating and they were serving something they got from a friend of theirs.

It was delicious with an assertive taste typical of Eikoufuji. Pineapple
Eikoufuji's label and name have a high school boy feel, and this time too, the official responded by saying the name looks like Manjikai on social media.
The name comes from the fact that the character for "glory" was added to the original sake name "Fuji" to express the wish for prosperity. It is also said that the symmetrical character "Eiko Fuji" represents the brewery's philosophy of "sake brewing with no two sides of the same coin.

I always buy GRAVITY every year when I find it at this time of the year.
Anyway, it has a good balance. It is sweet, gorgeous, tasty, juicy and crisp.
I love Eiko-Fuji after all.

I hear it's wine yeast brewed, so expect a different Glorious Fuji 😁.
When I open the bottle, I smell a light cemedine smell.
I think "mmmm 🤨", but then I feel an angular texture on the palate.
It tastes like white wine with an astringent aftertaste and a crispness that flows easily 😎.
I think it's a bit strong on the palate 🤔.
I have a hunch that this is the cue for the "Special Reizen Shuffle🔀" technique I learned with the Liqueur Masamune 🤩.
Close the lid and turn it over 3 times to wait for 3 minutes 😌.
(See my post on "Liquefied Rice Shochu" for more info)
Then the corners are removed and it becomes milder😊.
The astringency is now less astringent, less angular, and easier to drink 🤗.
A bit of a shock.
I feel the fruity taste and the sweetness. The alcohol content is 16.9 degrees, and I wonder if they are adjusting it here. After the juicy feeling, you can feel the clear acidity and the crispness. It is a wonderful sake.

Rating 4.4
Alcohol level: 16.7%, Sake meter: -1, Acidity: 1.7, Rice: Ginpu, Polishing ratio: 50
The fresh, crisp mouthfeel has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a mellow, sweet fruitiness that is unique to Eikofuji. Sweet aroma of green apple and white peach. It has a freshness, but at the same time, it has a slightly mellow feeling. It has a lingering caramel-like aftertaste that you would get when you matured a bottle of nama sake.
