Aftertaste: Sourness and sweetness stay for a while without losing balance
Impression: Fresh and fruity
Gutsy and fruity from the aroma. There is also a clay-like smell like malted rice. The sweet aroma like apple derived from Aizan is pleasant.
It tastes sweet, but the acidity slightly overpowers it, so it does not taste that sweet. It is best to drink it cooled down. It is rather juice-like.
Repeat Score 1.5
It is muskrat and fresh, and the ladies serving at the counter are all dressed in kappo-gi. Yet the restaurant is woody and modern.
It's nice. Oh, and the sake is delicious and chilled.

It was pretty fruity and easy to drink 🥰.
I'd like to try the others as all the bottles seem pretty juicy when I checked them out!
I'm going to put on the saikyo yaki gindara that I ordered with it!

Slightly sweet, slightly fizzy
Miscellaneous
Sake that is easy to drink with a sense of effervescence. The slightly sweet mouthfeel is pleasant.
Good aroma like muscat.
It has a refreshing sweetness and a sense of umami. It is a bit on the dry side.
There is a little piquancy, and the sourness comes later, which is a nice touch.
At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. We were allowed to compare Yokoyama Goju which is not on the menu.
Thank you, Master 😭
