It seems a bit austere for a spring sake... That is my personal impression. Is the alcohol taste too strong? I'm having a hard time deciding what to serve with it. Well, I don't think I will repeat it. Please understand that this is just my personal impression 🙏.
I think it is a personal preference since it is highly rated when I read other people's impressions. Or eat (or drink) together.

The aroma is really gorgeous. And the fruity flavor that doesn't betray its blaring nose is really delicious.
The flavor is so robust that you could drink this on its own.
It has a fruity sweetness, but the lingering alcohol taste is very good, as if it were only possible to drink it with sake.
I had it with pickles. It goes with everything, but something as light as this is the best way to enjoy sake.
