It has been ice-aged in a store for about 3 years.
The aroma is soft and subdued, reminiscent of ripe bananas, pears, and apricots.
There is a slight chili flavor.
Complex yet clean sweetness and umami derived from the nama-moto (sake brewing process). It is a delicious sake with a milky, soft richness and a smooth, refreshing taste.
I'm curious about the Japanese pear label! I thought I bought it, but upon closer inspection, it was just orange? LOL!
However, it has a strong acidity like Japanese pear, and I think it is probably made according to the concept. It also has a slightly lactic acid-like nuance.
Well, even though sake with acidity is popular, this type of acidity is a bit unique. It's not bad, but it might be a little tiring.

Impression: Beautiful, umami, dry.
The aroma is modest, with nuances of green apples and cooked rice. The overall taste is very well-balanced. While making the most of Kame-no-o's character (a little wildness and graininess), a moderate thickness and soft acidity coexist. The flavor is mildly umami rather than showy. It is refreshing and can be drunk both warmed and chilled.
