A lucky charm I saw at a local liquor store and picked up unexpectedly. It is the New Year in terms of sake. It has a strong flavor and is moderately dry.

It has a delicious flavor.
Refreshing acidity
It is truly cool and refreshing.
It's also good for the hot days that continue during this season.
The cutout of fireworks on the label is wonderful!

☆☆☆☆
Unfiltered, Junmai Daiginjo, Shizuku Ehime 45... The mouthfeel is quite refreshing and straightforward with no cloying taste. It is easy to drink with little ginjo flavor.
The mouthfeel is rather sweet, with no unpleasant ginjo flavor, and it is an easy-drinking type of sake that wears off quickly and easily. It is not a sharp sake, but it is easy to drink.
Surprise!
I never thought I would encounter this flavor in an Ehime sake!
From the clear aroma, it has my favorite lactic acid bacteria based, kangiku type flavor. It is my number one recommendation for Ehime's local sake.
