Slightly sweet to drink
The taste is crisp and easy to drink.
It is made from Yumesasara, an artificially bred sake rice produced in Tochigi Prefecture.
It has a sense of transparency and comes in easily and cleanly. The aroma is gentle, like freshly cooked rice, with a lingering fruitiness reminiscent of apricot.
The mouthfeel is clean, but the depth of flavor gradually develops. It can be enjoyed at room temperature or lukewarm, but it will take on a different look when warmed to room temperature, becoming fuller and mellower.
It does not have the heaviness or peculiarity that one might expect from a sake made from the traditional sake yeast, but rather a quiet and careful approach. It is a bottle that we would like to let it mature a little more, and we have high expectations for it.
This junmai ginjo is brewed with delicate techniques using 100% Gohyakumangoku grapes grown in the land of Nasu. As the name suggests, the sharpness of the taste is outstanding. The moment it enters the mouth, a clear, dignified dry taste spreads out, without any cloying flavors, and the aftertaste is surprisingly crisp and clean. It is as refreshing as drinking water from a clear mountain stream. This is a bottle as robust as rice and as supple as water. A well-honed gem that resonates with the blessings of Nasu and the pride of its brewer.

The last one is Ona Super Dry Junmai
The Ona I drank before didn't seem dry to me.
I don't think it feels dry to the point of being super dry, though it is dry with a Sake meter value of +10.
It's like it stays in your mouth until you taste it later?
A bit heavy?
Sake lees cream cheese, quite tasty, but the taste is strong, the one that somehow doesn't lose to it👍.
Of course I could go on 🤣(I really want to) but I'll stop here 😝.
When I first sipped it, I felt more acidity than I expected. After that, it was nice with a super dry typical throatiness and a refreshing umami taste. The chopsticks of the meal went well.
