Clean, with no aftertaste in the good sense of the word, and it seems to go with all kinds of food without disturbing it.
I'm afraid I can drink it like water...

Aftertaste: Dry and crisp
Impression] Refreshingly light and dry.
The fruity aroma is not flashy due to the fire-brewing and 2-year aging process, but the ethyl caproate can be felt.
The sugar content and acidity are low, but the 17% alcohol content contributes to the body of the flavor and gives the bitter sake its tightness. This is a classic and modern bottle that has both a ginjo aroma and a super dry taste.
Pairing.
This is also a good match for soba noodles.
Soba with salt is also great.

Aftertaste: Sharp and snappy. A faint scent of ginjo lingers in the aftertaste, and sharpness and gorgeousness coexist.
Impression: Light and dry.
While it has the sharp sharpness of a super-dry sake, it also has the smoothness and elegant fruity aroma of a 33% polished rice daiginjo. The aroma is delicate without being too flashy. The soft touch of Ogawa yeast and the high alcohol content coexist in a well-balanced manner, giving it a classical yet modern impression. A super dry daiginjo that looks great with food.
Pairing impression:
I paired it with hamo tempura, and it was a good match that drained off the oil in a flash.

For the fifth cup, we talked about "something crisp and refreshing for summer," so I selected "Bakuren!
It was sharp with a light dry taste. It was light, dry, and sharp, with a hint of muscat flavor. The crisp sharpness was perfect with a meal, and it was so delicious that I could drink it without hesitation ✨.
It went well with pork shabu-shabu and chilled tofu, and I was surprised by the super-hot taste for a short while. ✌️
