I had it hot. The rice flavor was concentrated, and it was the very definition of Japanese sake. However, the label says it is best served cold or warm.
This is a bottle that was stocked for the year-end drinking party. You can drink it with gusto. It is firm and more fruity than expected. I had an image of it being spicier, but the impression varies depending on the day. Anyway, this Junmai is a delicious and cost-effective sake!
Raw chili, cloudy fullness and body of the original sake.
Slightly complex taste with acidity, eginess, and bitterness.
It is not sweet, so you can feel the sharpness.
If you come to Tatabi-do, you should try Midorikawa.
It is a mild umaguchi with a slight sense of maturity. I like the way the umami and the modest astringency are in just the right harmony, and it is elegant but has a good core.
My wife, who does not drink alcohol, bought this for me as a gift! She said it was a recommendation from the liquor store, but reading the label on the back, etc., it looks like a summer sake, so I wonder if they recommended the unsold one? I wonder.
But good sake should taste good regardless of whether it is summer or winter, so I will drink it with high expectations!
When I drank it, it had a melon or melon-like aroma. It has a fresh and refreshing flavor. There is also a sense of minerality. The taste is clean and free of any impurities, and it is very "Midorikawa". The astringency and acidity come in gently at the end, and the crispness of the sake makes it easy to drink.
Some websites recommend heating it lukewarm, so I tried it.

Hi Y.Tokushige 😃
The picture on the label says it was made in 25.10, so I guess it's a late summer sake 🧐.
But it's nice to have a souvenir sake 🍶 for your wife who can't drink 🤗It's going to be a nice addition to her taste buds!
Midorikawa is my favorite after a long time today after drinking various sake this year.
It has a classic taste with an exquisite acidity.
I am not sure if I am right about the acidity, as I am not confident in my sense of taste, but it is a really delicious sake!
It may not be in line with the latest trend, but I wish more people would drink this sake.
