Also known as Red Bakun.
I've had this one many times, no doubt about it.
Not a strong aroma, but clear and fruity, like lime.
Clear mouthfeel that goes well with food.
It's just so spicy!
Very sharp and sharp.
Tempura with sake is the best 🍤.
The aroma is rich. It's so hot that I think my sweat glands are fully open.
This was my first time to drink Bakuren, and I think I should have had it earlier. This is a unique and delicious drink. Try it.
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.
