Drink cold
The aroma is green apple-like.
Fruity sweetness is the main taste, with a sharp bitterness at the end.
A type of summer sake with no acidity.
The bitterness is there but not that strong, so even people who are not used to sake may find it easy to get used to.

It's probably light nigori 🤔.
It's a refreshing type of sake with the flavor of rice🌾 and a hint of sweetness.
It was a standard sake 🍶 that you can feel the rice🌾🤗.
Urakasumi Zen
This time I thought a little about what I would do when I bring someone a drink 100% to their liking, regardless of the season or relationship.
My father-in-law came to Tokyo to watch a baseball game with an old friend and gave it to me as a gift. The sake I received tasted the best.
My father-in-law loves Urakasumi Zen, so it is a memorable sake for me as well. By the way, my father-in-law is very active and plays golf.
The name "Urakasumi" comes from a waka poem written in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) about the haze of Shiogama's Ura (the elegant view of the haze in spring), and the brewery is located in Shiogama, a scenic spot.
The taste is mild. The aftertaste is clean and dry, a little like a white wine.
(I think Urakasumi Zen was famous for its deliciousness about 40 years ago when I started drinking sake. The label seems to have not changed. I think it is great that the brand name of the old brewery is still around.
AAJI Thank you very much. You are right, the number of sake breweries is decreasing, and I am grateful that there are still some left. My father-in-law has also liked it since he was a businessman.

I realized after ordering that it was not junmai (pure rice), but it is mellow and easy to drink without the sake's sharpness.
It is easy to drink with no hint of sweetness.
