Purchased at Maxvalu in Konan City, Aichi Prefecture.

The acidity is strong, but it is matched by the umami, so it does not bother me so much.
It is an easy-drinking bottle.

Ginrei-Akiagari (White Dew)
The acidity and freshness of drunken whales are concentrated and full-flavored. It has a sense of maturity, but it is not heavy and refreshing.
I paired it with white meat sashimi, and although I felt the sashimi was outclassed, the namelow was a great match. A sake that goes well with firm flavors.
