A clear, unclouded sake with the strength of a pure sake. It is delicious.
I was curious about the face of the thankful Daikoku and ended up purchasing the sake.
So-called "Jacket purchase.
A little sourness, then a delicious taste, but it feels mediocre...
It's delicious, but it just feels that way...
The specs are good, too.
Apparently, my work wasn't up to par today, so...
I guess I felt that way.
It doesn't go well every day.
Still, I'm thankful for the sake, because it never complains
I'm thankful for that😅
I'll try another spec!

It's a brand that you don't see very often, but I bought it because it's my favorite Nagano sake.
The color is a little yellowish, which gives it an aged look.
The aroma is mild and not very strong, but there is a subtle scent of pickles in the alcohol.
I looked it up and found out that from this year onwards, this autumn sake has been aged for over two years to give a sense of maturity.
Although there is a sense of maturity, it is not too peculiar and has a gentle mature taste.
At first sip, the sake feels thin and clean on the palate, but when you drink it, the richness spreads and the acidity is strong, giving it a good sake feeling.
It's easy to drink because it doesn't have a strong flavor like Kamikame, but if you drink too much, it will become heavy.
