Modest at the entrance, almost imperceptible except for a slight cream acidity at the back.
On the palate, the swelling rice flavor is quickly followed by bitterness and slightly sharp acidity on a clear, clean mouthfeel with a slight carbonation.
I guess you could say that it is a deliciously clean sake with a firm dry sharpness.
However, if umami is one of the characteristics of this sake, I would like to have more time to savor it in the middle part. The dryness comes after it quickly and the bitterness is a bit strong, so I was left with the impression that the sake was somewhat busy and not very well-balanced. Even if I warmed it up (or changed the temperature), I think it would still be a bit tough.
It is clear, umami, and beautiful, so I would like to see the dryness in the latter half of the bottle be controlled more 😆.

It was opened last night.
The acidity blends in with the rice flavor. Tingling and fizzy sensation.
Somewhat like strawberries from a candy store,
Characteristic flavors like mushrooms and freshly baked bread.
Aromatic.
Relatively light on the palate, with a wine-like minerality.
Delicious. Good.

The junmai ginjo I had before was a bit gassy, but this one is a mid-priced ginjo? It is a good sake without any pedantry.
A good sake with no pedantry.
A little bit strong, a little bit fruity.

This luxurious freshly squeezed sake is made from 100% "Satoumi Rice" Akihikari, which is produced by sowing "oyster shells" from the mineral-rich Seto Inland Sea in the rice fields to improve the soil and grow good, strong rice, and using all the "Nakadori" portion, which is of stable quality. It is a bottle with the characteristic flavor of akihikari rice and a faint gaseous sensation even though it is fire-aged.
