Rumney-like fresh aroma.
The touch of lightness is extremely refreshing.
Dry rice flavor with a slight body.
The acidity is refreshing.
Summery and light.
It goes well with citrus-flavored boiled chrysanthemum.
Umami.
Degree of liking ☆4/5
Haenuki🌾.
First time getting the Koigawa I've been curious about✨.
Light means it's probably a summer sake 🤔.
Overall, it has a mild taste.
But as the temperature goes up, it gets more punchy,
I think it's good cold 😋.
The label has an illustration of a yuletide cat and a lot of words about a woman's dry taste, but it is a junmai sake with a sharp taste that is more classical. It has little sweetness, and the impression is that it is fermented well, but you can taste the umami of the rice, miscellaneous flavors, and complex flavors.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Buy it at Daylink.
There are many good dry sake locally, so I would like to repeat this brand among them! I didn't find it attractive enough to make me want to repeat this brand. It's for everyday sake.
Aroma sweet and gorgeous.
Slightly sweet on the palate, with a good balance of light spiciness and acidity.
The aftertaste is light and chewy and does not linger.
Alcohol 16%.
Sake meter degree +5
Slightly low acidity

The bottle is said to be "drink this and be healed."
Dry and light. Tastes like herbal wine or mojito (*this is my opinion). It does not give a strong taste, so it is good when you are not in the mood for a strong drink. Easy to drink.
It is soothing in the sense that you don't get tired after drinking it.
The second half of June and the beginning of July is the second busiest time of the year for us because of the addition of seasonal work to our regular work.
I've been drinking, but I haven't felt like posting on Sake-no-Wawa... Hmmm, I must be tired.
I'd like to pick up my pace little by little, as the end of such a period is in sight.
Now, sake.
Yamagata sake! The classic sake, suitable for warming up. The label on the back says it can be enjoyed lukewarm.
I started with it cold (room temperature).
When I poured it into a glass, it was a pale tortoiseshell color.
Just looking at the color of the sake, my expectations for heating it up were heightened.
Just like the color, the aroma and taste have a sweetness like tortoise candy, but with a hint of alcohol.
Okay, heated sake.
I didn't look at the label carefully at the time and somehow ended up heating it up (laugh).
The aroma is full of sourness from the alcohol.
When you drink it, the acidity of the alcohol is more pronounced than when it is chilled, and then the umami of the rice comes through.
But it has little of the classic peculiarities and is surprisingly refreshing, so even heated sake goes down easy.
Heated sake is good!
A well-balanced sake with the soft umami of Junmai sake and a crisp finish.
The number is said to be hidden to avoid preconceived notions, but the rice polishing ratio is indicated, but I wonder why...

The taste is thirst-quenching and crisp.
#Sake
Summer sake, heated. It has a soft umami flavor. It has a crispness with acidity that is typical of a sake with a sake meterage of +14, but it is softened by the warming.
