It was late and the local sake store nearby was closed, so I bought this one that I often see but have never had before.
It was not as good as water, but it was "yummy!

Shirotaki Kuransho, made with wine yeast
Smoky aroma with a clean white wine-like flavor.
It also has a fruity flavor like sake.
The unexpectedness of the aroma and taste is addictive!

Rock sake by jozen Junmai
For advanced drinkers? It was too early...
Chilled
Very light with a tart almost-Calpis style lemon to it. Weighty mouthfeel adds to that impression.
On the rocks the water dilutes down both but it isn’t unpleasant. I think if this was effervescent it would be a nice alternative to an Aperol Spritz.
Perfect for summer drinking

The aroma of koji malt is soft. It is clear and crisp with both dryness and umami.
This sake is a brand I learned when I was still drinking sake only when it was recommended to me 💡 It had a white label, but this one has a very beautiful blue bottle. It was a gift from a friend, and although it was quite old, it was so delicious that we both finished it 😆.
