It is a Junmai Daiginjo with a full of stories, but it had been sleeping at home for about 3 years.
It has a beautiful color of mitsubuki (wild golden yellow), a mild taste on the palate, a full-bodied umami and spiciness that seeps in and lingers on the palate, and the alcohol that leaves the nose is refreshing.

I had bought the Godzilla label before, but I found another fun sake.
The label on the back of the bottle has a fun explanation of the Ultraman fantasy. It's a bit hard to read due to the large number of characters and my aging eyes, but it seems to be in support of the Ultraman Foundation.
The book is a complex mixture of sweet, spicy, bitter, sour, and other tastes. It's like an all-out assault of umami. It also seems to be aged for a while, which gives it a deep flavor.
Popular Ichi-shuzo's products like this are sure to appeal to some enthusiasts.

Crystal with a faint yellow tint.
It has a ginjo aroma, including pear, melon, banana and other fruits. Also, sweet greens such as chervil, cedar, and lime.
The attack is rather strong, with a hint of sweetness, but with a firm acidity. The flavors are clean without being too sweet, and the finish has a sharpness that is typical of alsobe.
It is also quite tasty.
