Junmai Ginjo ‾‾Sou no Mai🌾Fusakogane🌾
High acidity with a hint of bitterness. Old-fashioned taste. It should be served hot with darker side dishes. It's also a good match for fig comfort.

Second bottle of the day.
I didn't have enough for two bottles, so I had them bring me a new one.
It had a strong flavor.
I could feel the alcohol in my nose.
Alcohol content 19%.
Rice polishing ratio 55%.
Pressed, heated, and bottled on New Year's Day.
Slightly warm at the time of purchase.
Refreshingly dry with a strong alcohol taste.
Light and refreshing
I drank it cold and sipped on it.
I buy it on my way home from a pilgrimage to Mount Narita.
It makes the Osechi (traditional Japanese New Year's dishes) taste better.
I bought it at a liquor store on the way back from a New Year's visit to Narita-san. It was a nigorizake, with a hint of gas. It was described as a freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake, with a sweet taste and a refreshing aftertaste! It gives the impression of an easy-to-drink nigorizake!
It has a rich and mellow ginjo aroma like a raw sake.
The taste is sweet and gentle like Omachi. The aftertaste has a delicious rice flavor and is delicious.
The smell is thin, and there is a smell like a melon slightly. However, there is also a smell that is not well understood, and it is a mystery when it is said what smell after all.
The taste is gorgeous and fruity, as is the case with ginjo-shu, and it fills the mouth. After that, the taste of melon and banana is added and divided by two, and the taste of alcohol is felt.
The taste of rice comes at the end, but it fades away after a while.
The sweetness increases with air, and the taste becomes like a mixture of several fruits.
The alcohol taste is moderate.
General Comments
Because it is a ginjo-shu, the overall finish is gorgeous and sweet. However, the sweetness has a crispness, so it has a refreshing impression at the same time. So it is certainly a suitable taste for summer sake.
However, one of my personal concerns is that the rice taste at the end seems to smell awful. It's not bad, but it's kind of stale. It will fade with time, but it won't disappear, so that was my only disappointment.
