This is my first sake.
I am not a big fan of western sakes, but I bought this one because it suddenly caught my eye.
Although it is called "dry," it has a sweet taste at first. As you drink it, the spiciness comes along with the bitterness. However, it is not so dry as to be dry.
The spiciness comes at the end of the bottle. The balance is relatively good. The balance is relatively good, so it may be suitable as a food sake. It gives the impression of being sharp for a sake from this region.

The third cup.
Of course I know Tomikunaga, but this is another brand I usually don't pay much attention to. I have an image of Hiroshima sake as dry on its own.
The sake rice used here is called Yatansusa, which is said to be the oldest sake rice in Hiroshima. It is said that they are making sake by reviving it. (I have a hazy memory, so I could be wrong, but it's my mistake, not the sommelier's.)
It is a good sake.
Is the rice good, or is the production good in the first place?
Of course, both are probably the reason why it has such a great flavor, but it has changed both the image of Hiroshima and that of Tomikyucho.
The overall flavor is concentrated and nicely integrated. A refreshing sweetness accentuates the flavor and gives it a gorgeous appearance. It is so smooth and clean that it gives the impression of disappearing in the mouth.
Is this an expensive sake?
It was made by a female toji who is very particular about her sake.
It is dry but has an aroma like a sweet sake...
But it is refreshing and not too strong.
I have had many Hiroshima sake, but this is a new type for me,
This is my first time to taste this type of sake ^-^.
Junmai Harazake bought at the Sake Festivals in Antwerp. It has a sour taste and is delicious with fish dishes, but it doesn't go well with soy sauce for sushi.
☑️ buy again: yes, very fresh and slightly acidic, goes great with appetizers and fish. 4/5
Mild acidity with a little chilli. Soft rice sweetness expands. Astringent, clean and crisp. Yatan grass. Milled rice in its original form. Boiled pork and
