Perhaps this is sweet. The fruity, gentle sweetness comes first, followed by a gentle spiciness that crackles like sparklers until you swallow... but... even after swallowing, a faint sweetness continues to linger in the aftertaste. It was the perfect sake for me who wants to keep drinking slowly. I quite like it. Also...I like the fact that the Toichi part of the label is slightly protruding, it's kind of strange.
Alcohol content: 15
Hakutsuru Nishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 49
It is a junmai ginjo, but the rice polishing ratio is 49%, so it has junmai daiginjo specifications.
Yogurt-like aroma.
Well-balanced ginjo-shu with a touch of bitterness. Hakutsuru-nishiki gives the impression of being fruity, but this is more on the dry side.
This sake is stored in wine barrels.
I was told that Katsunuma Brewery's wine barrels were used, and having visited their winery, I had to buy this! I had visited the Katsunuma Brewery, so I had to buy it!
The aroma is mild.
Color is slightly yellow
Taste is clean and refreshing, with a slight bitterness afterward.
The aroma and flavor of wine barrels was not clear to me 😅.
But the initiative of storing in wine barrels is great ✨.
I purchased one in September 2024 when I stopped by Easy's former workplace.
I had been curious about it for some time, as it was exclusive to this dealer, and finally was able to purchase it.
It has a citrus aroma and sweet-sourness, followed by a mineral bitterness as it pulls away🍊.
I thought for a moment that it might be sweet, but it was quite complex.

Sweet ginjo aroma
Gorgeous sweetness on the palate
The taste is immediately sharp and clean.
The aftertaste is very refreshing and has no peculiarities at all.
Sweet aroma. Slightly dry with a clean finish. Tomorrow, I will try it lukewarm as recommended.
