Selected dry sake from Yoshinogawa found at a nearby Seven-Eleven. It has a slightly sweet aroma with a tangy alcohol taste. Yes, this is another elegant and refreshing dry sake. The gentle sweetness and umami taste are also pleasing. I am planning to visit Nagaoka in September, so I was surprised to find it sold in my neighborhood when I was preparing for the trip.
