Temperature 25°C (room temperature), 5°C, 55°C
Taste 70%, 70%
Color Clear and colorless
Aroma: A mixture of cemedine and ginjo aroma when cold. The warmer it is, the more the ginjo aroma disappears.
Taste: Light on the palate with a very dry aftertaste. True to the label. Mouth tingles for a while.
Overall impression: Spicier than Kikusui's dry sake. The alcohol content is slightly lower than that of Kikusui at 14℃.
We found out that it is not to the taste of Mr. Takehiko Inoue.
Hello Mr. Licking Sake ☔.
I recommend Mitsui no Kotobuki's Dai-harakuchi sake, which comes out in early spring.
It has a nice aroma and is totally different from the fire-aged version.
Thanks for your comment, Matsuchiyo.
There is something totally different when it is raw sake, isn't there? Since it is this time of year, I will try it someday.

Umami: 1.5
Bitterness: 1.5
Aftertaste: Short, dry
Impression: Stoic, light, dry.
The aroma has a slight nuance of steamed rice.
It is designed to be super dry, with a sake meter of +14, and the sweetness is thoroughly eliminated, while the acidity and bitterness create a sharpness.
The low alcohol content of 14% makes it hard to get tired of drinking even though it is dry, but on the other hand, it is a little too spicy and hard to drink by itself while sober. It is suitable as a mid-meal drink.
Repeat Score: 1.5
Summer Junmai Nigori Chicara⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
The store's signboard label reads, "Sukkiri...refreshing, good for summer...".
The acidity is a little strong in the mouth, and although it is sharp, it leaves a little lees on the palate, which I found a little disturbing, hence the 3-star rating😅.
