When drunk hiya, it has a traditional light dry taste with a dry yet umami aftertaste.
When hot, it has a mild, mellow, dry taste.
I prefer it hot. It's a traditional sake and a good sake for any snacks.
It is a junmai ginjo and has an elegant taste for a cup of sake.
These characters are called "Kobaton" and "Saitamatchi", which are local mascots of Saitama Prefecture!
There are Yurukyara all over Japan, but they seem to be a uniquely Japanese culture.
It tastes a little spicy mixed with a clean drinking experience. After opening the bottle, the spiciness and cloying taste seemed to increase as it mixed with air.... Still, it was delicious👍.
At a local izakaya just a stone's throw from the brewery 🍶.
It was a very good, mellow sake with a very reasonable price. This time at room temperature.

Apple, pear, melon, acacia.
Nuances of soy sauce. Lime.
While there is an elegant sweetness, the acidity is smooth and never boring to drink. The after-flavor is full with nuances of cooked rice and a pleasant bitterness.
Although it is an inexpensive sake, it is delicious with a strong ginjo aroma, but also a good balance of acidity and bitterness without any lingering blurriness.
It has a gentle sake aroma and is fruity and refreshing on the palate.
It is a very refreshing and fruity sake that goes down smoothly and doesn't interfere with meals.
