I don't know this one either.
It's Oita sake.
Let's try it!
I thought it would be sweet because of the ogara-mi, but it was surprisingly dry!

This is a 55% polished special junmai. It would not be surprising to find fruitiness and floral notes in a rice this polished, but the strong rice flavor and caramel aroma with a sense of maturity are more impressive than such ginjo aroma. However, the acidity is low and the lingering aftertaste flows smoothly, so perhaps this is where the balance is achieved.
I guess this means that it is strong enough not to be defeated by Nakatsu Karaage (fried fish), which is a specialty of Oita, or other strong food items.
