Slightly Seirogan-like aroma, though really faint.
After feeling a little watery in the mouth, the soft sweetness of rice and firm sweetness spreads in the mouth richly.

Smells like yogurt
Firmly wrinkled
Mild sweetness like yogurt with a hint of sweetness
No sticky residue in the mouth and disappears quickly.
I like the taste.

Aroma is red apple type.
When served cold, the overall impression is light, with some sweetness and acidity, but not much, and a fair amount of umami.
When heated, the sweetness and umami are more pronounced.
Easy to drink when cold, but not distinctive; when hot, the sweetness and umami of the rice are more pronounced.

Sake rice: Yuki Megami
Polishing ratio 50%.
Slightly fruity and refreshing on the palate. More than dry. The lingering aftertaste is a little bit tasty and astringent.

Impression] A mellow dry daiginjo.
A master brewer who won a gold medal at the National New Sake Competition in 2024. I bought this bottle as a souvenir when I participated in Yonezuru's rice planting, but you would never think it would be bottled as a countermeasure against alosoaking for the examination. Before the alkaloids, the nose has a complex aroma including white peaches from a cerulenin-resistant strain. However, it is quite mild and elegant. The taste is beautiful and elegant with moderate sweetness and acidity. The sake has a clean and elegant taste with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, and the alkaloids are not at all deliberate, which makes the aftertaste refreshing.
Pairing】Pairs well with white fish sashimi, seafood hot pot, crab cream croquettes, marinated scallops, shrimp dumplings, etc. (Internet information)
Repeat Score] 2.0
Although it is a junmai daiginjo, it is not a sake with a gorgeous ginjo aroma, but rather a clean, refreshing sake with no cloying taste as a result of polishing the rice to daiginjo standards. It is a very beautiful sake, so please enjoy it slowly.
Sake bought at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
My favorite sake is the pink super Shiboritate that Umaisan bought, but I had already bought and drank it in the past, so I hesitated to buy this one and Kame-iki.
It feels fresher than when I tasted it. It is dark and has a strong umami flavor. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is felt towards the end and the aftertaste is short.
It feels spicy when drunk with sweet dishes, so pairing is especially important for this sake 🤔.
There are some smoky nuances when the temperature rises.
