It was recommended by my favorite liquor store as a dry sake. It has a strong flavor when drunk on its own, but when paired with sashimi, it goes down a treat. Umashi☺︎

Kyo Hina Fukayama Tokubetsu Junmai Nao Kumi Nama Sake
60% 16° 25/5 A+
Ehime Uchiko Town, Shiroku Shuzo

The taste is gentle and deep.
It is a little sweet, but the acidity is good enough to keep you from getting tired of drinking it.
Side note: I drank it slowly, remembering Shinya Shoda's "Drunk on Ancient Sake," which I read that day.
Kyoto Hina Uchiko
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. It may be the aroma of Sakurahime yeast, an aromatic yeast.
The taste is light with strong acidity.
The aftertaste is clean, but lingers for a long time.
Delicious.
The label is really nice. It seems to have been drawn by a print artist from Ehime.

It has a clean sweetness and umami 😚.
It has a good extension of umami and a core flavor.
I thought the name was "Miyabi" and Kyoto-like, but it is Ehime 🙄.
