Winner of the Gold Prize in the Premium Daiginjo category at the Wineglass Delicious Sake Awards 2025.
At a sake meeting in Tokyo.
The fruity and mellow aroma stands up very well as shown in the chart on the back label.
Although I did not drink it in a wine glass, the taste is smooth and refreshingly sweet, with a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
If I have a chance to drink it again, I would like to drink it in a wine glass.

I went to CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2025🤗
Black labels are cool 😎.
I heard that black koji is common in Awamori.
But this one is made with one suitable for sake. Furthermore, they are not selling this one yet 😳.
Which means it will be coming out in the future 😆.
It is sweet and sour, but the acidity is sharp.
The cut is excellent.
The sweetness is rather hardworking, so you can enjoy it as a stand-alone sake.
On the other hand, if it is a food sake, it may fall apart.
It is fully enjoyable with a sweet and sour apple or apricot flavor.
It has a strong flavor that doesn't go as far as a liqueur, and it is a refreshing and fresh sake that goes down your throat 🍶.
I am looking forward to drinking this sake from now on 🤗.

#Nihon-shu
I bought it at a sake brewery when I visited Morioka. I opened it after drinking some of it. I didn't smell much, but when I drank it, it was quite sweet. In spite of that, the aftertaste is refreshing and delicious.
2025 Japanese Sake in a Wineglass
I thought it would be more like Toko, another award-winning sake, but it is more like sake. It is fruity and tasty with a dry taste.
