My first spring sake, Black Dragonfly.
The Blue Dragonfly in summer and the Red Dragonfly in fall were both delicious, but this one exceeded my expectations. It has a strong umami flavor, clean and smooth, with just a hint of sourness and bitterness.
Drink cold
Weak ginjo aroma
Deliciously mellow and full-bodied in the mouth
Fruity with a hint of acidity
The taste is sharp and not sticky.
Dryness appears later.
This is a new sake from another Wakanami brand, Dragonfly.
The first aroma is slightly sweet and sour.
It has a refreshing sweet and sour taste in the mouth.
I was watching a video posted on Wakanami's Instagram a while ago and saw a caption saying that they try to match the amount of water absorbed by the rice in 10g increments, and I thought to myself that this is indeed a good idea.
It has a mild, light, umami taste with a pleasant acidity. It was such a friendly sake that you would want to enjoy it casually and without thinking about the details of sake.
It's so good!

The acidity flows through it.
The rice is sweet and has a nice sharpness!
Wonderful hiyaoroshi!
Purasu
Tobikiri heated up totally good!
Milkiness, complex umami, and just the right amount of caramel!
Gachi-yami!
Caramelized as it cools down: ⤴︎

Last minute drinking, last post of the year 🐉.
It's a fall drink... 🍁.
The aroma is a little sour with a hint of syrupy sweetness.
When you drink it, it's a little chili, sweet but it cuts right through the sweetness, like a young peach. I was surprised to see this flavor coming from this label. Preconceived notions are not good.
It is indeed sweet, but it doesn't linger.
The image doesn't change much when heated up.
It disappears without a hitch at the end.
Stable the next day. This is delicious.
It has a good sweetness and umami, but it also has a freshness to it, and although it does not have a strong sharpness, it has a nice tightness to it.
I think it can be matched with relatively any Japanese food. I enjoyed it very much.
This year, since I started Sake-no-Wa, I have learned about various delicious sakes from everyone, and I am happy to have had the opportunity to interact with them through comments. Thank you very much!
I look forward to drinking with you again next year 🐍.
Have a happy new year ✨
