Received.
It is clear, but has a strong sweetness and acidity.
Can be sipped with soda. Also good on the rocks.
I also had a Junmai Imanishiki, but it had the same sweetness of the base rice. I can see why.

Sweet.
It has a good flavor, but there is no sourness or bitterness, and the sweetness dominates from start to finish.
It's not bad, but I think it's only good with cream cheese with salted fish or doteyaki.
My father (who does not drink alcohol) bought this sake to offer to the gods on New Year's Eve.
It is soft on the palate and a bit spicy. The alcohol aroma, umami, and a slight bitterness quickly pass through the nose.
When I went back to my parents' house, I found a four-pack of sake in the refrigerator.
Imanishiki is known for its sake tank pressing.
It is quite mild and smooth on the palate. There is no bitterness. We were tired from the trip, so we only drank a little and went to bed.

Today was the last day of work!
I bought some sake for the New Year's holidays at my usual liquor store, and I'm going to enjoy Imanishiki, which I bought some time ago but neglected, with Kiritanpo nabe (Kiritanpo hot pot), which is a tax return gift from my hometown.
It won the gold medal at the sake awards, so we had it in a Riedel wine glass!
The aroma was gorgeous and the wine glass made it stand out even more 😀 The sweet fruity taste was followed by a light acidity and a refreshing taste!
It is a very delicious sake with a long aftertaste.
Good evening, Gyaban 😃.
Thanks for your work all year 😌.
I'm ready to drink 🍶 for the New Year's Eve and New Year's Holidays, so I can enjoy my evening with peace of mind 🤗Riedel picks up the aroma and changes the taste 😋.
Imanishiki, I've had it outside a few times, but this is the first time I've had it at home.
There was a little lees at the bottom of the bottle.
Fresh and juicy. It's not extremely sweet, but it has an apple-like flavor.
I got the impression that the sake I drank at the traveling SAKE shop in Umeda Hankyu was sweeter and tastier.
It seems to have been in danger of going out of business, but now that it is under the umbrella of Ina Shokuhin Kogyo, known for Kantenpappa, it is available at Kantenpappa stores all over the country.
In the Kansai region, there is a directly managed store in Senriyama.
From the picture on the internet, it looks like they have a refrigerator and they seem to have fresh sake.
It's close to Jutoku Sake Shop, so it might be a good idea to go to the other one too 😆.
