50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

Aroma, flavor, and taste that is so fresh you won't believe it's in a can. Freshness that you would not expect from a can. It is different from a cup of alcohol. It is actually strong because it is 19%.

When I drank it more than 10 years ago on the Shinkansen on my way home from Niigata, my memory of sweet and fruity was also strongly memory compensated. It was dry compared to the good nama sake I drank recently.

Butsudan Gohagari Series (7) Nigori (nigori) sake from Niigata's Kikusui Shuzo, well known for its Funaguchi Kikusui. It is served on the rocks as it is getting hotter. The alcohol content is 21 degrees, just like Kikusui! It is a very sweet, fortified doburoku, a sake version of VDN. It is a perfect sake for the coming summer!

Compared to Funaguchi No.1 Shibori, it has a sweeter taste. It may be the addition of water, but it can be drunk neatly. It seems to be a Niigata GI. It is easy to drink and good for everyday drinking.
