(This is my opinion based on my stupid tongue.)
Sweet...? Spicy...?
Fruity...? Clear...?
For me, a sake beginner
I have the impression that it is an "adult sake".
I think it tastes more fruity, gorgeous, and mellow when it's a little closer to room temperature than when it's perfectly chilled.

I visited Niseko Brewery. After petting the signboard cat, we went inside the store. I love the style of the shop, where you can freely sample the sake on the table.
The atmosphere was very homey, with the owner's wife telling us about the best places to visit.
The ice cream is delicious, so if you go there, you should definitely try it.

Tonight is my first Hokkaido sake in a while 😁.
It has a dry mouthfeel with a moderate sweetness, so it has a clean and crisp taste without any lingering aftertaste. It is a delicious bottle.
This sake is from a sake brewery that was introduced to me by a local izakaya when I visited Hokkaido. It is not easy to find it in Honshu, but I found it in Sugitama!
It's not the same brand, but it's my favorite sake brewery.
Half a cup cold.
A full rice aroma pervades the entire mouth.
It is quite crisp on the palate, though,
The taste of the rice afterwards is amazing.
It is quite high on my personal ranking list 😂.
