Drier nihonshu with melon, rice and bitterness at the end. Good with food, but I prefer the Yuho Yamaoroshi which I also tried which has more umami and longer flavour

Kagataya Sake Shop Spring Sake Tasting
Milky aroma, more robust taste than other brands. Lukewarm heating of spring sake might be good.
Surprisingly cloudy appearance.
Aroma of fizzy sake.
The nose has a sharp acidity, a slight sweetness, and a melon-like aroma.
It tingles a little.
As it rolls around in the mouth, the sweetness of the sake's unrefined fermentation can be smelled softly.
It has a light mouthfeel, but it also has a silky nigori taste.
Degree of liking 3.5/5
first brewing of sake or soy sauce by adding a few drops of water (esp. as an offering to a guest)
It's mildly tasty! It is thicker than Hanasaki. It is fresh. Sourness and rich umami. 87 points
Sweetness: 2.6
Acidity: 3.3
Dryness:3.3
Aroma: 2.5

Unnecessary Kanazawa Drinking Trip Day 2
The second restaurant after two rounds of drinking at Kanazawa Oden.
I think I heard on the news that there was a string of cancellations in Kanazawa, but as expected, all the popular restaurants were fully booked!
We couldn't get into the small restaurant we went to last night, but we were told by the owner of the small restaurant that the mother of last night's snack bar also came to this restaurant!
Yuuho Orikagami
I have tasted many Ishikawa sakes that are rather refreshing, but this one has a sweetness and leaves a sourness in the aftertaste!
Good sake with good food in Kanazawa is the best!
