The sake that got me hooked on sake swamp
Is it the flavor of rice? Or should I say the aroma of koji? It has a deep, umami flavor.
Some people find it to have a tangy taste.
It is neither too sweet nor too spicy, and the acidity is good, so I prefer it cold or at room temperature.
There are two types of rice polished to 80 and 90, but both are delicious!
It does not taste fruity.
Umami, acidity, bitterness
Taste like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast.

Sake with a simple impression. Seems to go well with fatty foods.

The acidity is all over the place, with sweetness in the background.
The acidity continues until the end.
The thick and robust flavor reminded me of the "nama-hashiroshi style" (🧐).
I thought that "heavy" might be a stereotype in this day and age, since there are lighter sake even with a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast... 🙄.

Impression: A naturally derived sake with a peculiar taste.
The umami and aroma derived from unpolished rice and the complex acidity from indigenous bacteria are unique, and the aroma and taste have a wildness and warmth. At any rate, it has a complex aroma.
It has a dry, yet thick body and seems to be a good match for food. As you continue to drink, the beautiful sake yeast gradually becomes more pronounced, making it a very nice sake.
Repeat Score: 1.5
Polishing ratio 90%! What can I say, it is full of wildness and concentrated flavor. The sake is not beautiful in the mouth, but rather complex and gracefully expands in the mouth! Anyway, it is delicious, and the cost is very reasonable.
