Lightly colored, dry, once fired

As it is called "light and dry", it has little sweetness and is very crisp.
Yet, it has a rich rice flavor, which is very interesting.
It is a perfect match for a strong meal.

I'm really into Suminoe recently. This one is designed to be super dry.
The aroma is of fresh green apples, and the flavor is more like grape than muscat, which is what you get when you drink Suminoe. I think there are not many breweries that have this aroma. The taste is light, with restrained parameters. It is a sharp sake with a fruity flavor that goes well with light-flavored foods as a mid-meal drink. It is a bottle that I would like to keep on hand at home with Hakurakusei.
Pairing] Sashimi, sushi, soba noodles, grilled white fish, tempura, etc.

Suminoe watch out! Junmai Ginjo Omachi 3300yen
Today we climbed Mt. Fuji🗻 for the last time this year✋and on our wedding anniversary🎂‼️
As usual, myself and my wife went separately and met up in the middle of the mountain‼️ We enjoyed a fun climb and got some tasty snacks here and there in the car tonight‼️
And then to the feast in the car while watching Mt. Fuji fade into the night👍.
Today we went shopping in Fujiyoshida City! We got some good sake, some horse sashimi, bonito, fried fish, salmon spring rolls, etc. for snacks!
Now it's evening and the bottle is opened ‼️. The aroma is a steady ginjo aroma! No doubt about it! The first attack is elegant sweetness and spiciness with a perfect texture. ‼️ Omachi is a delicious sake. ♥️
Good evening, TOMO 😃.
Fuji🗻 climbing on our wedding anniversary💍! It's nice ‼️ and a party in the car while watching Mt. Fuji at night 🍶It's nice to be active 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😊.
At first we were thinking of celebrating our anniversary at a local western restaurant, but the weather forecast was pretty good and we found a great view, drinks and knobs and it turned out to be a great decision 👍Memorable anniversary 😊㊗️
Slightly melon-like aroma
Mild mouthfeel with a soft sweetness.
Next, a crisp acidity and a sense of alcohol spreads,
Then it finishes with a light and refreshing finish.

Lingering: Medium. The fruity aroma lingers slightly, but disappears after a short while.
Impression: A mellow, fruity Junmai Daiginjo.
I've recently become a fan of Suminoe and collect all the ones I can find on the Internet. This is a high-end sake made from Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture.
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, with hints of white peaches. The taste is broad, as is typical of Yamadanishiki, but it has a gentle and beautiful impression, with a neat structure that is typical of Suminoe. Personally, I prefer the Nakadare, but it is a great sake in the sense that it shows the brewery's capabilities.
Pairing: White fish sashimi, sushi, chilled soba noodles, and boiled hamo (pike conger).
