I think this was the first time I drank sake from Tokyo. I didn't really taste the flavor, perhaps because it is a common summer drink. I am not sure if it was because I drank it on the rocks. I will check again tomorrow.
At room temperature
Aroma like raisins
Aroma like wet green grass.
When you drink it, you will taste a little sweetness and then sourness.
Then gradually, a full and robust umami is felt.
The aftertaste is sharp, and I didn't feel the sense of rice as much as I expected.
I had it with incense, and I was right 😋.
Sawanoi's Junmai sake was delicious, so I bought the regular sake.
As expected, it is a very cost-effective sake, with a clear, dry taste, but with a good umami flavor.
While there are many ordinary sakes that are not very drinkable, I really appreciate this sake that caters to the average person.
I bought a large quantity of this sake at Donki for about 1,700 yen a bottle and drink it every night.
This is a very cool Sawanoi Junmai Genmai sake.
The aroma is understated and refreshing, but has a slightly cucumbery sweetness to it. The taste is also softly sweet, but it is wrapped tightly with astringency, strength, and a touch of alcohol. It looks delicious on the rocks...
So I drank the second glass with pure ice on top.
Oh, oh, oh... This seems to be a standard Junmai Dai-harakuchi, but it is not Junmai Dai-harakuchi. What a sweet and clear Junmai Dai-harakuchi... The sweetness that was soft and fluffy is now clearly defined. This is another enjoyable sake.

This is a delicious sake with a slight aroma and weak cemedine, a little sweetness, nigori rice flavor, and a dry sharpness. We enjoyed it with Kentucky Fried Chicken. It had a good flavor and a feeling of cutting through the oil.
