It is an ambitious work, made with a 65% polished rice ratio and 100% Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture.
I fell in love at first sight with the adorable Akita dog label and bought it on impulse at a local supermarket.
When poured into a glass at room temperature, it has a slight golden color and a surprisingly mild impression on the palate. When you taste it carefully, you will notice the deliciousness of the rice, and by the time you realize that this is how you should taste it! By the time I realized it, I had finished half of the four-pack.
The aftertaste is gentle and the alcohol is not strong, so it is generally easy to drink. The Akita dog on the label makes it easy to drink for beginners as well.
Mellow sake-like rice aroma
Mild taste
Sourness lingers at the end, not sharp.
But the aftertaste is not bad
Maybe the water is good
Could be very good as a food sake❗️
Sake shop said it tastes good heated up.
I heard that it tastes good heated up.
First brand I found in a tavern and drank for the first time
Drink cold
The aroma is very mild.
Barely a hint of alcohol.
Light rice flavor on the palate
Very fresh impression
The taste is light and immediately clears the palate.
Slightly dry with a hint of banana-like sweetness.
There is no lingering aftertaste at all, but it is a great food wine that rinses the mouth and allows the taste of sake to be felt.
It goes well with fried clams and octopus.
The acidity is more noticeable when served warm, and it tastes better when served cold.

We enjoyed it as a tsukimi sake with sweet tsukimi dango and salty plum crystals as a side dish while viewing the beautiful mid-autumn moon in September/November.
It was served at room temperature (hiya-shu). It has a slight aroma of rice, and I thought it was slightly dry, full-bodied, and deep-flavored sake.
On September 14, it was served hot.
The corners were removed, the taste became mellower, and the flavor expanded...I think it became richer.
