It tastes delicious! A little softer! Junmai Daiginjo indeed..! Did you also feel a little peculiar for a moment?
It is soft even if you recommend drinking it!
Duan, Junmai Ginjo
It will be clear! I wonder if the spiciness will be there!
A hint of fruity flavor?
As you continue drinking, there may be sweetness behind the clarity...?
Not tannic, but dun.
Mellow entry, slight gassiness, fresh, sweet, almost no cloying, very tasty with a slight oakiness, a little different from usual, but good!

Yamanashi Prefecture, first time checking in 🎉.
We chose "Tadashi" Yamahai Junmai Ginjo, which we were finally able to bring along.
The rice used was 100% Bizen Omachi.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol level: 15 degrees Celsius
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is fresh and fruity, like melon or green apple, with a lactic acid smell like yogurt, with a hint of the plump sweet aroma of Omachi and a cool, refreshing smell like green bamboo.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a pale yellowish-yamabuki color and a dense, smooth, creamy texture.
The first sip is soft and fresh on the palate, with a sweetness reminiscent of melon or pear spreading softly.
On the tongue, the umami of rice gradually swells, and a pleasant acidity tightens the sweetness and gives a sense of lactic acidity.
The aftertaste is a sharp change from the fruitiness, with bitterness and astringency, and the lingering aftertaste is crisp and sweet without leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The balance between umami and acidity is exquisite and keeps it from becoming heavy.
Personally, I prefer it when it is near room temperature after some time, as the acidity and graininess make the gorgeous, layered, wave-like flavor more apparent.
In the mouth, it's refreshing and slightly fizzy, with a slightly lighter fruity flavor and a pronounced winey taste.
It's really a good sake for summer!
