So much darker than eye. It is light. The richness comes later. It's strange that the sweetness doesn't come so much. It's a very rich and delicious drink. 84 points.

A new product from Niigata's prestigious Takachiyo Sake Brewery that you will want to keep on hand! It is said to be a very cost-effective and well-balanced product that can be drunk easily without getting tired of drinking.
The sake rice is undisclosed, the rice polishing ratio is also undisclosed, and the yeast is also undisclosed, so the mysterious nature of this product is very intriguing👍.
The taste is mellow and very refreshing at the beginning ✨The fruity sweet taste comes in first, and the soft aroma is impressive. When you hold it in your mouth, you can feel both acidity and umami later 🤤.
This sake has a gentle taste. The label is red with an impactful dragon🐲.
I paired it with fried mackerel with wasabi and grated mayo👍.

Takachiyo Shuzo spent 5 years to create this new standard sake. It is aluminium-sweetened in pursuit of high cost-performance.
It has a blue fruit-like aroma like pear or melon, a smooth mouthfeel, and a full sweetness with a good sharpness, making it an excellent choice as a regular sake. It is a bottle that will perform superbly as a regular sake, just as it was conceived!
