The fifth white wine-like sake is "#5 Gin no Sato, in bubbles. It is a sparkling sake with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Smooth sweetness reminiscent of fruit. Normal and delicious. Gentle acidity. Gentle acidity, with a sharp gas effect.

The description: "This is a dry-type daiginjo-shu with a fruity ginjo aroma and a crisp taste. It is carefully brewed with Yamada-Nishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing, polished to 50% at our own rice-polishing plant. Please enjoy it chilled." Takahashi Shoten, Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture
It was an easy-drinking daiginjo that lived up to its description *⭐️⭐️
White winey nose.
Light white wine with a hint of oak.
After that, the taste of rice comes through.
The bitterness and acidity are refreshing.
The label on the back says to pair it with cheese and olives,
It is just like that.
I like it 4/5(Interesting)
At a liquor store near my parents' house in Fukuoka City.
Many of the sake from Omachi are to my liking, and this one was also a winner. The special junmai classic was not my favorite, though. It has the sweetness of rice, softness, and gentleness. The aftertaste is tight, so even dry sake drinkers should be able to enjoy it.
