Junmai Daiginjo by Ginga. It is the first time for us to drink this sake rice, but it has a very elegant ginjo aroma like peach, and the acidity and sweetness that is not too much spins an indescribably pleasant feeling. A bargain!

At room temperature, it is crisp and tasty, both slightly sweet and refreshing in my opinion. At least at this temperature, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Personally, I think it would be better with a bitter aftertaste. It can probably be served either warmed or cold. But I have the impression that it is best served cold. I'll try it on the rocks this time instead of heating it up since there's not much left! It's good. The bad parts are gone and it's easy to drink. The umami flavor is still there and it can be used in various ways. However, there is a slight alcohol taste in the aftertaste. It is somewhat like an ice breaker.

Landing in Iwate since Fall 2019 Purchased at Fresh Tamori Airport Store Rice used is Toyonishiki grown in Iwate This is the first time I've had this sake. It is a standard sake that is refreshing, sharp, and has a slight sweetness to it. It was just right for a night at a hot spring hotel and a sip. It is the best part of traveling to encounter this kind of sake ❗️.

Good morning, Erin 🌞🌞. I think Mr. Horinoi is quite a pragmatist❗️ I would like to drink again if I have a chance.

This sake is made from Iwate Prefecture sake rice. It is a delicious sake with a clean and crisp taste, and does not interfere with food. I had it with sushi, and it went very well with it.

The standing aroma is gentle with a slight, crisp ginjo aroma. It has a firm flavor with a strong body. It is thick and voluminous. Next comes bitterness, acidity, and astringency, followed by a lovely sweetness that spreads and then rapidly dries up in the aftertaste. It has a strong structure and sweetness, yet the astringency and spiciness are sharp. The impression is one of sharp contrast. It has a thick, acidic, umami mouthfeel. It will age well.
