7/10
Mukai Sake Brewery is well-known for Ine Mangaka.
The image of the brewery is that they have a variety of challenging sake.
This one is a crisp sake made with 100% Awa Yamadanishiki.
It is said to warm up well, so I tried it at room temperature, lukewarm, and even hot.
It certainly has a fuller flavor.
The mild yet elegant acidity provides a good accent.
The sweetness follows in the second half, adding depth to the flavor.

It was served warmed.
60% Yamadanishiki, 90% special junmai
Koshihikari 70% Junmai 10
The sake is a combination of 60% Yamadanishiki, 90% Koshihikari, and 70% Junmai.
It is a great sake to savor the harmony of bitterness and astringency with little sweetness when heated.
This sake is made in Ine-cho, an area of Kyoto facing the Sea of Japan. In the area around Ine-cho, the festival to pay homage to Ebisu-san is called "obecsan," which is the origin of the label.
It is light to drink, with a slight tanginess afterward. It seems to be easy to drink, and the alcohol content is strong at 17 😳.
I thought I could drink it easily, but I held back and drank it while taking in water.
I think it goes well with dark flavored snacks such as miso salad👍.
