The spicy acidity is matched by an exquisite flavor that is rich but not heavy.
The sweetness gradually spreads, but the strong acidity and bitterness with a strong presence throughout the wine leaves a light aftertaste and finishes it off.

A utility player that can go from cold to warmed sake. All are delicious. Personally, I like it best lukewarm. It has a good balance of mellow flavor and cleanness.
It is strong and dry. 2 piece hip taste and drink it while eating food, is it moderate?
It is delicious.
Commentary.
The standing aroma is a double layer of dry nutty aroma and a moderate aged aroma that is typical of Akaban Omachi from underneath. The taste is more subdued than expected from the initial aroma, but it soon becomes fuller and has a thicker flavor. The acidity is strong but also soft and refreshing.
This is from 2021. Stored in a refrigerator at a store for 2 years. Stored at home at room temperature for 1 year. Drank warmed. The acidity is delicious. It tastes sweeter when heated. Anyway, it is delicious.
