This was given to me by my daughter on Father's Day. I guess she didn't choose it herself, but had someone at the store pick it for her.
It was an entry in the New Sake Competition and won a prize. ㊗️

Hello ETENE 😃
So this is a collaboration between a wine supplier and a brewery? Now that you put it that way, this label also looks like a Japanese/Western face 😄.
A bottle of this one to accompany you tonight. When I opened the bottle, I noticed a unique aroma. It is hard to describe, but is it derived from lactic acid bacteria? I may not like it very much. When I put it in my mouth without mixing in the oli, it has a unique flavor. Aroma of wood? After the woody aroma, there is a strong sour taste. Hmmm, it is not my favorite. When paired with grilled barracuda, the corners are removed and it becomes a little easier to drink. When mixed with Ori, the sweetness increases and it becomes much easier to drink.
It was a surprising encounter to find out that there are many different brewing directions for our favorite sake!

In 2024, the label won the top prize in the "Kura Master" category at a sake competition held in France.
The Benten label has been attracting attention in recent years for its aggressive appeal outside of Japan.
The company seems to be developing a wide variety of locally brewed sake in small quantities.
This sake also has a carefully crafted taste.
The aroma is like muscat, and the soft umami flavor from the rice spreads and changes delicately.
It is a delicious sake.
The aroma is pleasant, with a good flavor and acidity.
The sweet and spicy flavor flows smoothly through the mid-palate, and the finish is smooth and smooth.
Purchased at a local supermarket.
Drink alone at the end of the fiscal year.
Fresh and clean ginjo aroma. Citrusy and very fruity.
It is refreshingly light and sweet, but also has a richness that is typical of Benten.
It is both light and heavy.
It is a good sake.
No wonder it is a collaboration with a wine import company.

This sake is brewed with Yamagata-grown Tsuyahime.
It has a soft sweetness and a moderate umami, probably due to the rice. The harmony with the acidity is also to my liking. The aftertaste does not last very long. It goes well with Ate, and is recommended for both before and during meals.
Pairing with Ate
Sashimi (raw fish)
Meat and potatoes
Grilled chicken wings with salt
Personal preference: ★★★★★
Today I got this 🍶🤤 at a roadside station in Yonezawa on my way back from a long business trip.
This is my favorite brand of rice and sake, so I've had it several times 🍶.
This time I had it with Kiritanpo nabe (Kiritanpo hot pot) and a meal 🤤.
The sake was sweeter than usual due to the bitterness of the cucumber, but it went perfectly with the rice 🥰🌈.
It was very delicious!
