I received a bottle of raw sake from Ago Ariki. It is a sake that is hard to find around here, and I happened to discover it when I was in Saitama. I have a rule that sake with fashionable labels is good sake, so I had high expectations for this sake.
The label also said "mango and citrus," and when I drank it, I found it to be a refreshing sake. It has sweetness, but more than that, it has a minty and citrus-like freshness! It also feels fruity.
This is a very good sake to know. It might go well with refreshing steamed vegetables.
With a refreshing fruity sensation in the first sip, I found it to be a delicious and easy-to-drink sake with a moderate sweetness, a hint of sourness and bitterness.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a pleasant acidity that passes through the nose. The spiciness that remains along with the soft sweetness is also good. I bought it because of the 👍name, but I think it was a good purchase. I bought it because of the name, but I think this is a good purchase.

It seems to be quite habitual. Spicy? Slightly dry with a hint of sweetness. Shuwashuwa type. Strange. From the beginning, it's sweet and bitter, a bit greenish, but I don't dislike it, in other words, it's unique.
After a week after opening, the sweetness becomes more pronounced and the spiciness becomes milder. The uniqueness is still there. I think there are some foreign fruits that taste like this.
Comparison of drinks across the days. Yesterday we drank at a corner bar of a liquor store in Koiwa, Tokyo, and today we drank at a bar in Koenji that buys sake from this liquor store. Both sakes had the same mouthfeel, but there was a difference in the aftertaste: the former was Miyamanishiki and had a light dryness and sharpness, while the latter was Yamada-Nishiki and was clean with no clutter 😌.
