Wet stone, pear, apple, rich and delicious! I love this one.
Drinking it in my Yamorido glass after bringing it back from my November 2024 trip to Japan.

This is also a shop-only sake for seafood.
The aroma is mild with some fresh fruit aroma. The taste is also relatively restrained, giving a sense of lightness. The lingering alcohol taste made me think for a moment that it was aluzoe.
It is a good sake to drink with sashimi and other dishes.
Pairing] White fish sashimi
Repeat Score】1.5
I thought it had a smooth mouthfeel and was very fruity, as is typical of Manjusen's sake. The lingering aftertaste after finishing the sake was also very pleasant, as it receded quietly and smoothly.
It is a wonderful sake that conveys a cool, refreshing feeling from the bottle. It is dangerous to drink it gulping. As I drank it, I thought I could somehow feel midsummer. I want to visit Iwase in summer, where the brewery is located.
