The rice🌾 flavor is the centerpiece of this clean and dry dish.
It enhances the flavor of the lebakatsu and fried chicken with cheese, while quickly draining away the oil.
A great food wine 🍶.
Bravo 👏.
Sake for the spring season. The brewery aims to create a "gentle" sake, meaning "supple and gentle".
There is no description on the bottle, but it is clear, so I chilled it.
The aroma is clean, yet gorgeously sweet. It has a moist sweetness, a light and crisp acidity, and a nice lingering umami.
A perfect accompaniment for a quiet hanami (cherry blossom viewing).

I was looking forward to drinking this 19° nama sake, and it did not disappoint.
Although it is called dry, it has a sweetness to it along with the flavor and robust umami of nama-zake.
Low alcohol sake is fun sometimes, but this kind of sake with a lot of body will reset you.
It is a delicious sake that makes you drink too much without making you feel its high alcohol content.
