This brand advocates a new type of Niigata New Light and Dry.
It was very well balanced and dry, which was understandable, but the umami and richness of the rice was very apparent.
However, the umami and richness of the rice was very apparent, and the fact that it was light did not fit my image of what it should be.
It has a strong flavor and is easy to pair with meals, so I think it is suitable for a mid-meal drink.
The taste was different from the mellow dry sake and junmai sake I have had so far, and I felt it had a very strong character, but it was a little out of my strike zone.

Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.
Gorgeous aroma
As is typical of the original sake, the alcohol content is a little strong.
But it is clear and has no bitterness.
The sweetness is moderate.
But the aroma makes it taste sweet.
Delicious!
This is the first time I have tasted this brewery.
It has a gorgeous aroma because it is a draft sake, but the aroma is not fruity like in Niigata, but more like rice.
My first impression is that it has a good balance between classic and modern.
A slight piquancy is immediately followed by an unexpected sweetness. Then comes bitterness and spiciness.
The aftertaste is not sharp, as is typical of Niigata, but it finishes nicely.
It is fun to drink outside for the first time in a while.

I finally got to try the Musou, which was recommended by Kai of SakeLab a few years ago.
My first impression was that it was a very typical sake, yet it had a fruity taste that I loved.
Although it is described as dry, it is not light and dry. You can taste the umami of the rice so much that you wonder if it is really dry.
Compared to the sweet sake, it is not as sweet, so I guess it is dry.
It was a very delicious sake and I would like to buy it again.
Thank you for the treat.
If you want to pair it with sushi, it should be dry.
There are many kinds of dry sake, but I think that a clean taste goes well with sushi. I think it is good for Sushi.
Not too strong, not too weak. Not too sweet, not too spicy.
I think the best sake is the one that you can drink forever.
is ultimately the best sake.
However, there are also some sake that are so good that they are beyond belief.
