Today I was on holiday duty and had a busy day, so I ate out at a sushi restaurant in a hurry.
I think this sake has little umami, but it was delicious with the flavor of the rice. It had a nice balance of flavors with a clean aftertaste.

Postscript
Apart from the other 🍶 lined up in the dining area, only one of them was sitting in a prominent place.

Polishing ratio is 60
The alcohol content is 16%.
Yeast used: Association 1701 yeast
When poured into the sake cup, it has a refreshing fruity aroma reminiscent of green apples and pears, and a calm aroma that is not too gorgeous.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a clear, pale golden color, with a light, light mouthfeel that is moderately thick and viscous.
When you take a sip, an elegant sweetness spreads in your mouth, and the mouthfeel is gentle and mellow. It has a gorgeous and fruity taste like apples and bananas. The balance between acidity and umami is well balanced, and the taste is light with little clutter. The aftertaste is refreshing with bitterness and sharpness.
I suggested soda as a way to drink "Himezen," but I serve it myself.
It doesn't have the bitterness of added carbonation, but it is a sweet and sour Irohasu soda that somehow makes you feel intoxicated after drinking ...... because of its low alcohol content.

Rice Miyagi rice
This is Ichinokura's standard dry junmai sake.
It is a robust, spicy sake that is very drinkable.
It has a unique taste that is sometimes desired in Japanese sake, and it is very intoxicating.
First, we decided to "grill squid for the evening". That meant sake.
I found a reasonable sake at the store. I hadn't had Ichinokura for a long time.
It is very easy to drink. I feel it is dangerous to drink too much. It is delicious.
I judged it as "delicious"!
