It is sweeter than sweet, with a spiciness that comes after the first sip. It is a sake that can be drunk indefinitely, so you will find yourself emptying a four-pack before you know it.
I forgot to take a picture of the saury 😅It is a dry sake but the salt and soy sauce flavor gives it a sweet and umami taste that is delicious 😋This is really a sake to drink with saury 🍶.
Hi, Takku 🐦.
I like the label, easy to understand that it goes with autumn fish😊👍👍You grilled it on the BBQ 😻 Looks delicious on the ❣️ charcoal grill 😻It's a fall trifecta including autumn cherry blossoms 🍁.
A little luxury study series.
I bought several bottles as gifts for acquaintances.
When I was asked what I thought of them, I thought it would be tactful to say, "I haven't drunk them myself. I came up with the convenient excuse that it would be tactless to say, "I haven't drunk it myself," and gave it as a gift to myself.
It is slightly effervescent.
Although the fruity flavor I had hoped for was somewhat subdued, I could taste the flavor, weight, and aftertaste of a high-class sake, or a sake of style.
I can't verbalize it well, but my tongue and taste buds are too poor to analyze it even though it tastes kind of good.
Like drinking it after offering it to a Shinto altar.
There is almost no sake or alcohol smell, and it seems to go well with Japanese food.
When I drink it after all this lifting, it is called guzzling.
May we have a chance to meet again...

I have not encountered many Hachitan-Nishiki No. 2 from Niigata. The aroma is modest, but the fruity ginjo aroma gives a beautiful impression.
The taste is refreshingly light and light, as is typical of Niigata, but with a gentle sweetness and umami flavor. The mouthfeel is smooth.

The aroma is mild.
When you take a sip, the acidity is sharp.
Slightly smoky aroma on the nose.
The sweetness is moderate with a hint of apple flavor.
Light rice flavor.
It has a tangy, spicy flavor.
Degree of liking ☆ 3.5/5
Relief as usual. Perhaps because I'm used to drinking it, the nightly aridness has decreased somewhat.
I wondered if the flavor varies from bottle to bottle, but this one tasted a little better than usual.
The description may seem contradictory, but that's how I feel.
I wonder when I will be able to drink it again, as I will be plunging into the study of various sakes for a while again.
