Junmai Ginjo🍶.
A gift from a colleague 🙏 He said he likes this brewery and visits several times a year.
It is pleasantly sweet and sour. A little bit of a schwarziness. Dry aftertaste. On the rocks 🧊 increases the spiciness, but it is easy to drink. Has a heavy back. Heating up ♨️ increases both sweetness and spiciness. Good for simmered flounder. My wife says it doesn't feel sweet on the tongue, but sweet on the upper jaw 😅 nice acidity is pleasant. It is also good with Shiho bamboo from Kochi 🎋 which is rare in autumn 👍Thanks for the treat 🙏.

It has an apple-like flavor and softness!
The sweetness and acidity are just right, and it is easy to drink, with no unpleasant tang!
It conveys the sweetness of rice while expressing sake-like characteristics, which is good!
I invited my wife, who is not a drinker, to go to Mashiko to have soft serve ice cream with sakekasu (sake lees).
After stopping at a roadside station and looking at Mashiko pottery, we finally went to our main destination, Sonoike Sake Brewery, where we were allowed to taste the sake lees soft serve ice cream and bought two coins to compare.
The aroma was apple, very refreshing, like a white wine, though I don't know anything about wine.
I didn't really like it, so I just bought sakekasu and went home.
