Purchased at Hokuriku sake event at LUCUA
The top aroma has a classic feel to it. I was told it was dry, but it also has a bit of sweetness, a strong umami, graininess, nuttiness, and complexity. Maybe it's better than I thought it would be.
I think it's a little hard to drink because it's so pungent 😅.
Maybe it's better to drink it on the rocks or with soda 🤔

I was looking forward to drinking this sake because I wanted to drink a rich, high strength sake and it was alky but unpasteurized at 20%.
The aroma was a little strong, but not so much as to be overpowering, but when I drank it, I didn't taste any flavor and didn't detect any alcohol content, so I decided to leave it overnight.
The next day, I checked the label and found that it was 16 degrees Celsius... It was not a pure sake, but I was disappointed because I had high expectations for the sake.
It's not the sake's fault, but the gap between my expectations and the sake itself... I almost wouldn't have chosen the sake myself if it were alsobe watered....
Later I wished I had tried it heated.
The second cup is Goshosen from Kanazawa.
It is a stable cup with a sweet and umami taste of rice 🌾.
It was not as dark and Ishikawa-like as you might imagine. It was also delicious!

Miscellaneous impressions
I am not a fan of the word "phantom", so I went to ......
It was an easy-drinking sake with a refreshing sweetness!
It has an intense dry taste with a strong umami and acidity. It goes well with simmered sweet and spicy potatoes, or autumn swordfish topped with plenty of grated daikon.
