Drink it cold. It is not fruity, but has a strong rice flavor. It is not so refreshing for an arosozome sake, so it may be better to cool or warm it up to tighten it up. It has a classical taste and is quite heavy. Ika no shiokara (salted squid) is the perfect accompaniment to this sake.

First impression: quite sweet.
Not fruity sweetness, but rice sweetness.
It has umami, and you can tell they are particular about the rice 🌾.
It has a great sharpness, so it's suitable for a mealtime drink.
The sweet flavor comes in a flurry, but it is cut off quickly by bitterness.
A clear, dry sake.

It did not have much ginjo aroma, perhaps because it was too chilled. On the palate, the nigami aroma was present, and it had a nice sharpness. I thought it would be a ginjo to be drunk by itself, but it went well with a meal.
