Slightly strong umami, leaving a firm aftertaste but without any peculiarities.
Not much Daiginjo-ness, but the overall balance is good.
When the temperature rises, the sweetness becomes much stronger.

Transparent water color with a cool, cool sensation.
The aroma reminds one of tropical fruits.
The mouthfeel is thick and sticky, with a clear and sharp taste.
It has a rich but refreshing taste and smoothness on the throat, and the aftertaste is refreshing and disappears easily while leaving a delicious flavor.
Just like the image of a snowman with reddish cheeks and a smile on his face, the warmth and coldness, rich flavor and freshness, and the opposing flavors create a wonderful harmony in this wonderful bottle.
I bought Ryujin as a Gunma sake that I have yet to explore at Sakegawa.
It is the first Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake I have had in a while. The aroma is apple-like, and the mouthfeel is fruity and sweet. The sweetness of the rice spreads on the palate. It does not have a sharpness, but the sweetness and umami taste leaves a happy feeling in the mouth. It is better to drink with light dishes before or after a meal than during a meal. After dinner, we enjoyed it with grilled leeks.
Hi Maddy 😃
Congratulations on the first registration of Sake no Wa Gunma Sake in Ryujin: ㊗️ 🎉The leeks in Gunma are Shimonita leeks, but after dinner grilled leeks 😋 are good!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. Unfortunately, they were not Shimonita leeks, but still the core was hot and tender and delicious when grilled until it was charred!
The aroma is the winner. It's not uncommon for a favorite drink to be off the charts here. Tropical fruity type. About 70% sweet. It is a good choice for those who drink it. It has a little bit of a "takachi-yo" feeling, but it finishes well. 8.4
