I thought immediately after drinking it, "Wow, this is sharp and dry, sir.
(I was just thinking, who's my husband?) When I sipped it, I felt a sharp dryness that exceeded the alcohol content. This is irresistible. It is sure to be an excellent food wine.
I bought it at a liquor store in Koume-cho on the way to Michi no Eki Hakushu during the GW period. This liquor store is a nice store with a nice selection of austere Nagano brand sake, so if you have a chance, please visit.

Gorgeous ginjo aroma and sour fermentation smell like cheese.
Dry! It is just so dry and sharp. There is no lingering aftertaste.
Well, let's have another drink. Since we ordered sashimi, let's go for a dry sake. This one is crisp and watery, with a hint of umami in the dry taste. This is the kind of sake that tastes sweet when you lick salt off of it. It is delicious. I opened it and left.
As shown on the reverse side, it appears to be an aged Junmai Daiginjo sake. It combines the softness of a Junmai Daiginjo with the unique rice flavor of an aged sake. It is not too sweet and does not have the strong peculiarities of matured sake, making it a Junmai Daiginjo that is easy to pair with food.
