The fifth drink was a selection of Gifu sake, which I hadn't seen in a while, since the topic was Gujo Hachiman and Omi Hachiman!
Aroma of chocolate and strawberries.
It was smooth, rich, and a little sweet and bitter. It gradually becomes drier and drier, and the final taste is crisp, dry, and delicious!

Impression: Deliciously light and dry
The aroma is subdued with a nutty nuance.
The taste is umami, but dry and light. The sake level is 12, but you may not feel it that much because of the good balance of other elements.
It goes well with various snacks from sashimi to grilled fish.
