This brand advocates a new type of Niigata New Light and Dry.
It was very well balanced and dry, which was understandable, but the umami and richness of the rice was very apparent.
However, the umami and richness of the rice was very apparent, and the fact that it was light did not fit my image of what it should be.
It has a strong flavor and is easy to pair with meals, so I think it is suitable for a mid-meal drink.
The taste was different from the mellow dry sake and junmai sake I have had so far, and I felt it had a very strong character, but it was a little out of my strike zone.

Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.
Gorgeous aroma
As is typical of the original sake, the alcohol content is a little strong.
But it is clear and has no bitterness.
The sweetness is moderate.
But the aroma makes it taste sweet.
Delicious!
This is the first time I have tasted this brewery.
It has a gorgeous aroma because it is a draft sake, but the aroma is not fruity like in Niigata, but more like rice.
My first impression is that it has a good balance between classic and modern.
A slight piquancy is immediately followed by an unexpected sweetness. Then comes bitterness and spiciness.
The aftertaste is not sharp, as is typical of Niigata, but it finishes nicely.
It is fun to drink outside for the first time in a while.
