The introduction of the store says "fruity".

Grilled fish and chicken were served!
I can't keep up with the drinking and eating!
extensive knowledge
This junmai ginjo is brewed with 60% Dewa Sanzu, Yamagata Prefecture's original rice suitable for sake brewing, and brewed in the traditional "Jumizu-jikomi" method to give it a rich flavor.
Jumizu-jikomi" is a brewing style in which 10 koku of rice is brewed with 10 koku of water. The ratio of brewing water used in modern brewing is about 1.2 stones of water to 1 stone of rice, so "Jumizu-jikomi" is brewed with about 20% less water than usual, resulting in a rich, mellow flavor. One koku (stone) is a unit of volume: 1 koku contains approximately 150 kg of rice and 1 koku contains approximately 180 liters of water.
The product name "Seijaku Kanga" was named after the taste of this sake, which is inspired by the image of a landscape or place with a quiet, quaint, and mysterious charm.
It has a fresh, fruity, slightly floral aroma, a soft and smooth mouthfeel, a rich umami with natural rice sweetness, and a pleasantly clear and full finish with a gentle, soft sharpness.
4.0/5.0
Thank you Kigawaya for everything.
Almost odorless when opened.
The first sip has a mild mouthfeel. The sweetness and umami taste spreads afterwards and disappears smoothly down the throat. It has a light taste. It goes well with light, light snacks!
The sixth cup is from Sakata, Yamagata. It is brewed with "Dewanosato" polished to 77%, and has a fresh, mild aroma and a smooth mouthfeel with a strong, supple rice flavor.
Let's compare a few more drinks from Shoei's recommended menu!
Three of us each selected a sake from Yamagata.
We heard that Matsumine no Fuji Hiyayogoshi was gone, so what do you have?
There is an active nigori, so let's open it!
It's freshly opened and deliciously sizzling!
It tastes like the activated nigori of the last Yuki no Bijin we drank in Akita!
I don't really like hiyaoroshi, so this nigori was the right choice for me!
Freshly fried oysters!
Let's eat them while they're still hot and drink the sake 🍶!
Knowledge
This is a limited nigori nama-shu, a junmai-shu made from 77% polished Dewanosato, Yamagata Prefecture's original rice suitable for sake brewing, which has been very popular for its clean and delicious taste that exceeds the rice polishing ratio. It is made with 77% polished rice, which is the best rice for sake brewing in Yamagata Prefecture, and is very popular for its beautiful taste, which is more than the rice polishing ratio.
The aroma is mild, and when poured into a glass, it releases a burst of carbon dioxide gas, which spreads the robust flavor of rice on the palate with a refreshing bubbly sensation.
Sake made from 100% "Snow Goddess" produced in Yamagata Prefecture.
It is a special order product of Kigawaya.
The aroma is moderate.
When you take a sip, the sweetness and deliciousness swell up in your mouth.
The fresh bitterness leaves a clean aftertaste.
The heat of the alcohol lingers in the mouth.
The bitterness is strong, but it quickly fades away, making it easy to drink.
Delicious...!
It has a very coherent taste.

It is a junmai ginjo, but as the label says, "karakuchi," it has the grace to go right in. It is a junmai ginjo, but as the label says, it is a clean sake that goes in easily. Reasonably priced.
I want to feel summer. In search of shuwashu, I tried to go to Matsumine no Fuji.
The aroma is just pear! Fresh green.
They use Yamagata Prefecture's Shuzokotekomai Dewanosato. This rice is said to have a less cloying taste without being so polished. Indeed, it is easy to drink without any complexity.
We did summer with lemon-flavored canned mackerel.

★★★★☆☆☆☆
Junmai Daiginjo-shu made from 40% polished "Yuki-Majin" sake rice, which was developed for Daiginjo spec sake. Elegant aroma reminiscent of fruits and white flowers.
I have looked it up on the internet but have not come across any hits.
Comparison with Kenkunichi
This one was more fruity.
100% "Yuki-no-Megami (Yamagata Sake No. 104)".
The aroma is mild and slightly citrusy, the texture is very smooth on the tongue, and the taste is clean, coherent, and pleasant.
