It is said to be the first place winner of the Kura Master President's Award. I had never heard of this brand, but the owner of the liquor store recommended it to me and I bought it. It has a gorgeous aroma and an elegant, thick texture. It is not light, but has a good umami flavor and I felt it was well balanced.

Soft on the palate. The zarame-like, rich sweetness and umami flavor softly spread in the mouth 😌 Nutritious....
It was a delicious sake with a good sharpness of bitterness and acidity.
This is a sparkling sake from the Sanran brand of the Tonoike Shuzo brewery in Mashiko City, Tochigi Prefecture! The use of white malted rice gives this sake a sparkling taste and a refreshing acidity and aroma like white wine, which spreads in the mouth! Finally, you feel the sake. It has won the gold medal at the Delicious Sake in a Glass of Wine Award 2025. It has become a regular summer event to have coffee and amazake soft drink at the Sotaike Sake Brewery Cafe and buy some as a souvenir.â

Hmm? Not "Tochigi no Hoshi" which is also used for food sake brewing?
Either one is fine.
Summer or not, it's still heated sake.

The glass was empty before I could write the review (sweat).
Yeah, well, anyway, well, you know, it was delicious!
