The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!

日本酒コンクールの上位受賞で名前を聞かないことがないほど、品質の高さに定評のある宮城県・新澤醸造店。過去には脅威の精米歩合0パーセントや当時22歳の若手杜氏抜擢で話題をさらい、近年はジン蒸溜所や人材派遣会社といった関連企業を設立するなど、前例のないチャレンジを続けています。 5代目蔵元・新澤巌夫（にいざわ・いわお）さん曰く、引き継いだ24年前時点では2億円の負債を抱え、品評会では県内最下位レベルだったという同社。東日本大震災を含む逆境を乗り越えながら、若手女性杜氏を中心とした技術者集団を築きあげ、蔵を世界トップの地位まで躍進させた新澤社長の取り組みと、その蔵の組織力についてお話を聞きました。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア

Refreshing acidity. Citrusy throat. The taste is strong. Taste is not so much a heavy taste, but a strong "this kind of taste" that makes it a great drink.

Brand Name] Hakurakusei Junmai Ginjo Sake Brewer] Shinzawa Brewery (Sambongi, Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture) Type of Sake] Junmai Ginjo Rice] Domestic rice (details undisclosed) Rice polishing ratio] 55 Alcohol content】15%. Sake Cup】Wine Glass Aroma】+1.5（green apple, muscat, white dumpling) Appearance】Crystal [Taste] [Mouthfeel Body: 1.5 Acidity: 2.0 Sweetness: 1.5 Umami: 1.5 Bitterness: 1.5 Lingering: Short to medium. The acidity lingers refreshingly, and it wears off quickly. Impression: Modern, light and dry. A bottle with the concept of "the ultimate food sake. I have drunk it countless times, but I have the impression that the taste differs depending on where you buy it, so I report on it every time. The aroma is a mild ginjo aroma with a refreshing green apple aroma. The taste is light and clear, designed to complement the ingredients. The sake is smooth and easy to savor, with no cloying flavors. Like the previous Suminosoe, this is a representative of the modern, light and dry style of Miyagi sake. Pairing] White fish sashimi, sushi, chilled tofu, dishes using soup stock, soba noodles Repeat Score] 2.5

I bought it at Sake-no-Yamamoto on the way to wander around Osaka City with my children using the city's excursion ticket. The slightly rightward "Hakurakusei" on the label is upward compatible with my own handwriting, and I opened the bottle with the thought that I wished I could write such characters. When the bottle is first opened, it has a fruity feel to it. There is no sense of fizz. When you put it in your mouth, it is not so sweet and a little dry. I drank it at a hand-rolled sushi party at my home, and it went great with fish!

Gentle spiciness that is consistent from the time of kissing to the aftertaste. It's not flashy, but it's mellow and delicious.

The "ultimate food wine" is... Pleasantly fruity with a hint of fruitiness A sharp and spicy taste that will reset your palate. When the temperature is lowered, it mellows out. No, but I prefer it cooled down. Oh... this is delicious...
