Silver in color with a transparent and slightly yellow impression. The aroma is gorgeous, with yellow apples, melons, weak bananas, sweet vegetal scents like cerfille, elegant rice scents like Kamishinbako and Shiratama-dango, and an impression of Hinoki. The attack is a little strong, and there is a mild sweetness, but the acidity is also there, and there is no gooey impression at all. The bitterness is mild and the structure is clean. Compared to Junmai Ginjo, there is not that much difference in the taste itself, but the volume and spread of the aroma is different. Also, the acidity seems to be more than that of Tokubetsu Junmai and Junmai Ginjo. However, the differences between the three are quite subtle when compared to the Tokubetsu Junmai, Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo. Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio 45%. Utsukushima glittering yeast is used

It has a crystal silver color with a transparent and faint green hue. The nose is flamboyant, with fruits such as yellow apple and melon, with refreshing notes of cerfille and green bamboo, as well as an elegant rice-like aroma. The attack is rather strong and has a mild sweetness. The acidity gives the impression of roundness. The acidity disappears quickly and the bitterness that gives fullness appears, but the aftertaste is rather long. I thought it was a sake with a mellow balance. It is delicious. Although it is a special junmai, it has a ginjo aroma and is as delicious as junmai ginjo. Comparing it to the Jun Gin, the aroma is almost the same, but the Tokubetsu Junmai has more of a green vegetal nuance, and the acidity is weaker on the palate. Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio 58 It is a full-flavored type, and its high acidity makes it difficult to get a bitter taste when it is heated up, so it can be perceived as a little dry.

Jotanbo (date of birth unknown - 1182) was a monk in the late Heian period. He was the head priest of Aizu Ennichiji Temple in Mutsu Province. At the end of the Heian period, Enninji Temple was so prosperous that it is said that there were "300 monks and thousands of priests". There is a memorial tower at the site of Keiritsuji Temple that is said to be the tomb of Joridanbo. As the name implies, it was a stately drink.
