I enjoyed "Atago no Matsu" last time, so I tried the same brewery ✨.
It was also tastier (for me) on the second day, as the acidity had lessened. Easy to drink as a food sake✨.
I don't know if it's just my taste, but I enjoyed the aroma and taste of Atago no Matsumatsu more 🤔.

This is a limited distribution product released in October 2007 by Shinzawa Brewery, the brewer of the popular Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsu sake. It is brewed using Asahi sake produced in Okayama Prefecture.
It is named "Hiryu" (meaning "flying dragon" in Japanese) so that it can deliver the highest quality to the world, just like a dragon flying in the sky. It expresses the evolution of food sake.
(My impression after drinking it)
My impression after taking a sip is that it is a little spicy and thin.
It is like water, but the flavor of the rice is aromatic. It is a clear and colorless sake that goes down your throat easily and is a perfect food sake.
Atago no matsuri This sake is made by the Shinzawa Brewery, which is well known for its Hakurakusei.
It is a daiginjo, but the aroma is not so assertive.
It has a faint sweet aroma. It is not fruity, but rather honey-like.
The taste is a complete turnaround, with bitterness, acidity, and a slight sweetness of rice all coming together.
The aftertaste is clean and dry.
As expected, this sake is perfect as a mid-meal drink.
The sharpness of this sake makes it a good match for strong flavors.
It is a delicious sake.
First time I saw this sake 🍶I was attracted by the name and bought it immediately.
It was an easy to drink sake with a fruity taste 😊.
I was thinking that there are still some sake that I don't know about yet and I am looking forward to tasting the next one ☺️.
Tonight, I popped into the restaurant at 7:50pm.
The waitress asked if it was okay if we served drinks until 8pm.
No problem.
I looked at the sake menu.
An unfamiliar brand!
What a nice name!
It's Junmai Daiginjo, so it's fruity and easy to drink.
It's light and refreshing.
When I looked it up, I found that it was made by the same brewery that makes Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsu in Miyagi Prefecture.

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍.
By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me.
She likes it dry 😄.
It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦.
The aroma is fruity👍.
I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Staggered Foot😄.
Thank you for your comment 😊.
I️ didn't know that it was a Hakurakusei brewery at all💦.
I think it's good for dry taste lovers 😆👍
