Fresh acidity.
Not sure about mildness.
Younger than regular sake on the label is clearly younger
It has a rather strong acidity, but it's drinkable with a sense of maturity and cleanliness.

It is easy to drink, but a little acidic.

It is clear and well-balanced. The moderate addition of alcohol makes it taste good. I had it with hegisoba (buckwheat noodles).

[Taste] [Flavor
Body: 1.5
Acid: 2.0 Lactic acid type
Sweetness: 1.5
Umami: 1.5
Bitterness: 1.5
Lingering: Short to medium. Lactic acidity lingers for a while.
Impression: Niigata-style classic umami, light and dry.
The ginjo aroma is subdued, and the main aroma is that of rice. The taste is restrained, but not too crisp, with a beautiful and well-balanced quality that is typical of Niigata. It has a calmness due to low-temperature aging, and while it has a slight thickness of rice, it cuts through easily. It is a versatile all-purpose food sake.
Pairing] Grilled fish (salted salmon, Spanish mackerel), cold tofu, tempura (kisses, vegetables). Lukewarm heating is also recommended.
Repeat Score] 2.0

It is a crisp, dry sake with a nice aroma and a robust rice flavor. It is a standard, elegant junmai sake.

It is a very light and easy-drinking sake.
It has a gentle umami taste with a nice sharpness.
The entrée consisted of miso-pickled whale🐋 from Joetsu region, spicy pickled eggplant🍆 from Nagaoka, salmon from Murakami 🐟️, and tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of oysters🦪 from Sado Island.
Surprised that the plate is in Niigata and Sado Island😳.
The sake 🍶 went down so well.
Especially the combination of the whale marinated in miso and Midorikawa was awesome👍.

I think the aroma is mild, gently rice mellow and a bit apple-y ✨.
The mouthfeel is quite soft and beautiful, and you can enjoy the delicious rice with a sense of fullness and a clear, light taste, but it also has a surprisingly apple-like acidity and a good amount of sweetness. It's good!
It's been two days since I opened the bottle, but I feel like I can taste more beautiful acidity and sweetness today than I did yesterday. It's been two days since I opened it.
It's a very nice sake with a nice sharpness and it soaks through nicely and you can really feel the quality of the water 😳✨.
It's so good!
