I compared it to Junmai Ginjo, but as a sake novice, I couldn't tell the difference 🤣.
Either way, Imanishiki is easy to drink! LOL!

Shinkoshu No. 557 (Yumemi-nishiki), a sake rice developed by Nagano Prefecture, and Kyokai 1401 yeast are used. The light body and characteristic acidity match the soft aroma, giving this sake a taste reminiscent of neat flowers. The acidity is effective and refreshing.
Warmed sake 55 deg.
Soft touch, fuller and tasty.
Fluffy sweetness and aroma with a graininess
Liquid color is a little light yellow.
Fluffy grain-like sweetness lingers in the mouth

The last bottle I got on my trip to Obuse.
It is a sake from Ina, Minami-Shinshu. It is the sister of Otamajakushi, which is made with local rice, even the rice paddies are designated.
My impression is that it is similar to Izumibashi, which I drank a while ago. Likewise, it is more balanced and dry when warmed than when cold.
I am curious about the difference from the original Imaizumi's regular version and Otamajakushi (^-^-zu).

Not too sweet, not too spicy, easy to drink.
I was also interested in the one with the tadpole label.
