This is a Niigata sake with a strong brand name. I have the impression that most Niigata sake is dry, but this one was not dry and very easy to drink. This is my subjective opinion. It was served with horse mackerel.
Speaking of Niigata, there were many brands of light and dry sake that were very popular during the bubble period, but this one is somewhere between light and mellow.
It has a sharpness, so it goes well with both aperitif and mid-meal drinks.
Let's go buy it again.
