The nose has aromas of white peaches and Japanese pears, followed by an aromatic sweet aroma. The mouthfeel is gentle, and the gentle sweetness spreads.
Clear and colorless. Fruity and fresh scent reminiscent of green apples. There is also a sweet aroma reminiscent of hand cream. The strength of the aroma is medium. Smooth mouthfeel. Smooth mouthfeel. Melon-like aroma. A medium lingering finish with mild acidity and a touch of astringency. Sake that is both refreshing and fragrant.
At Niigata Sake League Festa.
This is also a brand that I saw for the first time.
Once again, I realized how many variations of Niigata's sake there are.
Next, sake from Niigata's Takai Shuzo 😁.
This is also my first sake 😆.
The aroma is not very strong and the taste is gentle and easy to drink 😊.
It is a delicious sake, different from Niigata's light and dry sake 😊☝️
The mild standing aroma reminds me of mango🥭 as described in the product description. However, when drunk on its own, the sake has less sweetness and acidity, and more minerality? nourishment? I picked up an astringent taste and honestly did not find it tasty.
However, as a second or third sake to be consumed during a meal, it does not interfere with the meal, and the umami flavor spreads quickly after drinking, and the lingering aftertaste is refreshing, changing my impression, if not 180 degrees.

Purchased at Ishikawa Sake Shop.
I bought this one, which is a different brand from Tatomo, because I thought I should buy a brand that I don't see often in my hometown sometimes.
Polishing ratio 55,
Jointly developed with Motox.
Koji rice: Koshitanrei produced in Niigata Prefecture
Kake rice: Gohyakumangoku produced in Uonuma, Niigata
Aroma of pear and rice bran. It also has a light umami flavor. It has a grain-like aroma.
Overall, it is mature.
