Totsuka Shuzo, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture: Kantake, Haruyo koi Special Junmai
This is a little out of season, but I opened a bottle I had purchased on a trip to Nagano Prefecture in the spring and kept in my refrigerator. As the name suggests, it was a very refreshing and spring-like sake with a strong acidity.
KANCHIKU Special Junmai (Nagano, Chikumanishiki Shuzo)
Purchased at the souvenir corner at Sakuhira Station.
The aroma has a sweet nuance of rice malt with a hint of alcohol.
The mouthfeel is soft and mild, with umami and spiciness in the middle part of the mouth, but there is a little bit of a cloying taste.
The aftertaste is dry and heavy. The impression is classic and robust.
Preferred Score: 5.5/10

Slightly lean sweetness and flavor.
There is also acidity, but it is not strong.
Strong alcohol taste.
The sweetness is more pronounced when heated.
I would prefer it warmed up.
