The aroma is mild.
The rice umami spreads gently after being absorbed.
It has a soft graininess.
The texture is clean and light with moderate acidity.
The balance is good, and it does not seem to be boring to drink.
It is smooth and crisp.
Slightly light and straightforward umami spiciness.
And a very reasonable price!
I liked it.
Degree of liking 4.5/5
At a friend's house.
Reunion after a year.
It was delicious and went on and on, and my friend had to stop me.
Next time I will bring something with apology.

Purchased and kept in the refrigerator at home for one year, opened the bottle ^ ^.
It is mild and not flashy, but it is soft and honestly delicious.
Kikusen, Katsuma, Hirotogawa, Wakanami, etc. It is the sense of the store owner.
I will be in Saku next Monday for two nights. But since we are staying overnight in the mountains, we will only have a chance to visit sake shops early Monday morning or Wednesday evening. And all the famous liquor stores are closed on Wednesdays😭.
Hi @Mizuhashi 🐦.
I see you are going to Saku! There are many sake breweries, so there seems to be a variety of sake available, but are you working? Your schedule seems quite difficult 🥺I hope you will have some encounters even in such a situation 🙏.
Thank you, Pon 😭
I had to work this week, so I'm going to shift it around and my bad friend invited me to a golf course sleepover during summer vacation: ⛳️
It looks like it's pretty deep in the mountains, but I'll take my chances and try to get into town 😆.

Classical label.
The color is slightly yellowish with a pure rice flavor.
However, it is not old-fashioned, but rather a dry and delicious sake with a strong umami taste.
Sake rice is Yamae-Nishiki, and compared to the Yamae-Nishiki sake we have had so far, this is a delicious sake with strong acidity and dryness, and you can feel the potential of the sake rice!
Matsuo's main local sake

The label on the bottle is cool 😎.
At the Noto Toji Jijyo Sake Competition
Matsuo's brewer, Mr. Konishi Toji, won the Grand Prize
Mr. Konishi of Matsuo Brewery won the Grand Prize 🏆.
The aroma is clear and mellow.
It is so beautiful and delicious!
The price is not too cheap.

Recently, I use Shinshu for one-day trip to Ueda, Chikuma, Shinonoi, Hakuba, and Itoigawa, because I can save the cost of expressway and gasoline.
And there is a sake shop, Kasuga, along the way 😀.
I took this one from Mr. Kasuga, too.
I think this is the third time I've tried Matsuo's sake, and I've never had a bad experience with any of them.
It's not glamorous, but it's a delicious sake that soaks in deeply.
It is not a classical sake, but an orthodox one, I guess.
I have another bottle of fire-brewed sake in stock, but I will let it sit for a while longer.
