I bought it in a bottle because I had a good impression of the one I bought before. Therefore, it was fire-aged.
Slightly colored.
The aroma is fresh, with hints of apples, white flowers, and white gemstones.
There is a good balance between sourness and sweetness. At first, it seems to be mainly acidic and crisp, but later the volume of sweetness comes in and gives the drinker a sense of fullness.
The aftertaste is sweet, but the acidity and minerality do not leave a bad aftertaste.
If it were to be heated, it would probably be to lukewarm. Basically, it is a sake to be drunk at 10 to 20 degrees Celsius.
I think it would probably taste even better if it were served at a more appropriate temperature. I really wish that sake breweries would not leave it up to the consumer to decide how to drink sake, but rather provide some recommendations on temperatures and sake containers.

Okada Honke "Morinori", Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture
Founded in 1874.
The company uses 100% Hyogo rice and water from the Kakogawa River.
Okada Honke did not have a booth for a single product at Morinori, but had a booth where about six breweries gathered to taste and sell their products as a ring series.
Morinori Tamaki Junmai Ginjo Nama Hashiroshi
It has a light acidity and a spicy flavor. It has a light acidity and a dry, umami flavor with a hint of honey.
I had had a Morinori's Namo Hashiro before and it gave me the impression of white wine, but I think it was the same 🤔.

They did not open a booth as a brewery, but only had a booth in the "Ring" series. A little disappointing...
The "ring" series is an SDGs sake. (Please Google for details).
It is a project by a farmer, a sake brewery, and the Kobe Shimbun, and is sold by Fukuju, Fukyu-Nishiki, Banshu-Ichiken, Shirasagi-no Shiro, Morinori, and Ozeki.
I remember that all of the "Ring" series were delicious.
I thought it tasted modern or a little different from each brewery's regular products.

Clear and colorless
Sweet aroma similar to that of fruits.
In the mouth, there is a sweet and sour taste, but it quickly disappears.
There is a slight tingling dryness in the aftertaste, but this also disappears quickly, so the aftertaste is quite short.
When served with snacks, you will not feel any acidity, only a strong sweetness, but it is not persistent and refreshes the palate.

I wanted to change restaurants and go for something a little sweeter, so I chose the light nigori Morinori.
It would have been great if the sweetness was a little more refreshing.
I was too reserved to take a picture of the jacket. I had never seen this sake before.
It is a tangy, refreshing and spicy sake.
It can be drunk on its own. I was not so impressed when I paired it with the stewed chicken meat. Osaka people seem to like dry sake.
5 Max!
Gorgeous aroma and soft rice sweetness.
Fruity and really soft, the slight carbonation is pleasant and really tasty.
Although it is a summer sake, it is very easy to drink because it has a strong sweetness and yet the aftertaste is refreshing.
I really like the taste! A refreshing and easy-to-drink dessert sake!

The other day, I tasted Gozo Ittada's Morinori ver. at a nearby standing bar and enjoyed it so much that I took home a different Morinori.
It was a delicious sake with a clean taste and gasiness while retaining the flavor of the original sake yeast.
Tangy and light effervescence.
A firm, dark taste typical of the sake yeast yeast.
It has a sweet taste of rice and is crisp and dry.
This sake may be quite to your liking!
