Other Impressions
It has a rare kiri-e (paper cutout) label, and it is hard to drink in the Kanto area! I got it because it was recommended to me.
It has a refreshing taste with no peculiarities and is very easy to drink. It seems to go well as a food sake!
Kills with a light bitterness and acidity from the sweet fruity taste of the oli. It has a fluffy, silky sweetness that is soft on the palate. I usually don't drink nigori that often, but this one is easy to drink, with the ori adding a nice accent to the fruity flavor. It's good, but it's so sweet that you may get tired of drinking it!
It was 1,500 yen for a pure large bottle, and the cost was great!

It has a rich aroma reminiscent of alcohol and cheese.
The mouthfeel is light like water, and it spreads in the mouth without resistance.
It has a slightly spicy and sharp taste, but its soft and fruity aroma makes it an addictive sake.
It is a little dry, but it is a dangerous sake that can be drunk easily.
It is also a good match for a mealtime drink.
I bought it before and enjoyed it so I bought the larger size.
It has a sweetness to it that is refreshing and maybe easier to drink than plum wine...? I will buy it again 🪷.
