Sake from Sado Island. This sake was given to me as a recommendation from Niigata. Thanks. I heard that it was picked up by the media and became famous. But it must have spread quite a bit among the public because it tastes solidly delicious.
This is a fire-brewed sake, and you can really taste the flavor of the rice. It tastes a little melon-like, but the rice flavor prevails.
It tastes better warmed than chilled. It seems to go well with takoyaki or okonomiyaki-like sauces.
First of all, the top clearness. A sign of muddiness.
Sweet aroma, smooth attack. Taste dry and umami. It goes in smoothly and has a light richness.
Easy to mix and match.
The umami level increases, but the light aftertaste remains the same.
It was an interesting comparison.

The same fruity aroma as the first sip, the rounded sweetness and umami of rice spread out with a refreshing acidity, and it finishes quickly with a slight bitterness and a faint aroma of koji malt.
The pleasant aroma and slightly viscous sweet umami spread in the first half of the bottle, and then the acidity and slight bitterness are neatly integrated, leaving a pleasant koji lingering aftertaste.
It is easy to match with meals, and of course it is delicious on its own.
It goes well with dried octopus, soymilk sundubu, and kombu-marinated kaiware.
