My wife, who does not drink alcohol, bought this for me as a gift! She said it was a recommendation from the liquor store, but reading the label on the back, etc., it looks like a summer sake, so I wonder if they recommended the unsold one? I wonder.
But good sake should taste good regardless of whether it is summer or winter, so I will drink it with high expectations!
When I drank it, it had a melon or melon-like aroma. It has a fresh and refreshing flavor. There is also a sense of minerality. The taste is clean and free of any impurities, and it is very "Midorikawa". The astringency and acidity come in gently at the end, and the crispness of the sake makes it easy to drink.
Some websites recommend heating it lukewarm, so I tried it.

Midorikawa is my favorite after a long time today after drinking various sake this year.
It has a classic taste with an exquisite acidity.
I am not sure if I am right about the acidity, as I am not confident in my sense of taste, but it is a really delicious sake!
It may not be in line with the latest trend, but I wish more people would drink this sake.
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary Eve, but my wife and I celebrated a day early!
Saw a movie in the morning and went shopping!
For the evening party, we went to Sushiya Rentaro in Fukushima, which was our first visit to our favorite sushi restaurant!
The first sake at Sushiya Rentaro was a first for us at Sakegawa, Midorikawa Sake Brewery's Midorikawa!
This time it was Junmai Ginjo!
I used to drink this sake recommended by a liquor store, but it's been a while since I've had it, so I'm looking forward to it!
Let's start with the first sip!
First, the aroma. I don't know what it smells like.
Gentle sweetness in the mouth.
Beautiful!
After that, you can feel a slight richness, but there is no harsh taste, and it is very easy to drink.
When served with a meal, the bitterness comes out and it is a delicious sake that goes well with sushi!
Happy wedding anniversary, ma-ki- 💍🎉I might say it one more time if we were celebrating today 😁🙏.
It's a special week here! I love sushi restaurants 😍A good drink with a meal is always tempting ✨.
Good evening, ma-ki- 😀.

Midorikawa was junmai for me, it's light and easy to drink 🍶.

I'm so jealous that you and your wife can go to a sushi restaurant that doesn't rotate! Sake in this kind of restaurant is a good reference for pairing 🤩.
Thank you so much, Koizo!
We only get to eat there on anniversaries, so it's something we look forward to 🎵
Oh, you're right - I have the impression that Japanese restaurants and sushi restaurants have a lot of things that go well with their food 😋.
Sushi and sake was the best 😍.
When I think of Midorikawa, I often drink Junmai, but this is a Ginjo. I did not hesitate to buy it because I did not see it very often and there was only one bottle left. The taste is rich and dry. It has a bitter taste, or rather a peculiar taste, which is similar to other sake breweries in the Uonuma area, so I think it may be due to the rice. The taste is in the same vein as Hakkaisan. It is also dry with a slightly high alcohol content of 16.5 degrees. It is suitable as a food sake, but if you get into it, you can easily drink it on its own. It is delicious!
It is labeled as a hot sake, but at room temperature it has a sweeter taste and the aroma of glutinous rice, but it also has an astringent taste.
When heated, the spiciness increases and the astringency disappears.
