@The Benefactor
I was expecting a wild taste, but I was surprised at how well it came together!
I was expecting it to taste wild, and I was a bit apprehensive when I tried it, but it came together better than I expected.
It was mild, but as expected of a 91% rice, it was full of rice flavor, but I didn't detect any cloying or wild flavors, which was a bit disappointing.
Since it is 91%, I would like to see it have a little more character, but this is a very tasty sake.
The one you've never had,
What does it taste like?" I ask.
"This is spicy - more than +10... next time, let me know what you think!"
One bite...
Wonder! The spiciness spreads!
It might be my first time to feel it!
The flavor follows afterwards!
This is good!
The "mellow dry" on the website is true!
Nice aftertaste too!
My current favorite!
Purchased at Odakyu Department Store in Machida. The rice is polished to 91%...!
The concentrated flavor is amazing...! The flavor is like an elegant Japanese candy. This is my favorite. Let's try other brands.
Strong attack.
Fluffy, apple-like aroma,
Then, sweetness, followed by bitterness. Sourness comes later.
Slightly chemical.
The taste has structure and freshness.
The sweetness of the rice is enhanced and delicious when paired with a sour side dish.

The first bottle purchased for trial
Fresh acidity and lactic acidity, firm rice flavor, light amber color.
It goes well with hard cheeses like Parmigiano when cold, yakitori liver (sauce), miso flavored nabe, cucumber in tamari, and other solid tasting dishes.
Warm it up with a hot sake to remove the acidity and give it a refreshing taste.
This was my first low-milled sake and it was delicious with a robust flavor.
Gift from Mr. Hayashi Tokushima: ❗️
The fragrance is calm, brandy-like, and luscious.
a faint citrusy fresh aroma: ⭕️
Moist mouthfeel
Soft sweetness
Fresh citrus acidity ⭕️
Creamy and minerally on the finish
Complexity with bitterness
A little hard on the palate, so we'll have to wait and see.

I bought it because I was unusually curious about the label-less, & my faith in Nagano sake. going in with a heavy heart, is it good?
Jacket value ... 2/10
I felt Shurado.
Ki ... 16/20
The hue is a little bit hazy, and the smell is suppressed, but the fruity component is unexpectedly high.
When I take it in, I feel the stimulation from the tip of my tongue, sweet and delicious...it's so good!
Sei... 17/20
The acidity and Alc-derived tingling on the tip of the tongue is rising, but the sweet and umami are also well balanced.
Turning... 15/20
The sublimation smell is subtle yet strong, with a vanilla malt smell.
Yui ... 12/20
The sweetness has good staying power, but it doesn't go well with the bitterness.
Costa ... 7/10
The taste and intoxication level are perfect for drinking at home.
The lingering Alc aftertaste lasts from beginning to end.
69 points
It should still be able to score more points, but if the bitterness (from the Alc) and the acidity that follows it can be controlled a little more, it will be a must for the top ranks!
Shinano-Nishiki Risshun Morning Squeeze, which we drink every year!
This year, too, I was able to drink it in Risshun!
It has a rich sweet flavor.
The spiciness also appears and it is crisp and clean!
It is delicious this year, too!
