The standing aroma is mild. The mouthfeel has a moderate sweetness and a fullness of rice, with a lactic acidity accentuated by a refreshing finish. It is an easy-drinking sake with a classical flavor rather than a robust, sturdy sake.
While the umami of the rice can be felt, none of the five flavors are too strongly pronounced, making it easy to pair with food. It would be good with autumn flavors such as the standard autumn fish and mushrooms, but it also went well with fried foods and nabe (hot pot). ☺️

Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.
Pairing at a somewhat nice kappo restaurant.
Since it was a fish dish, a very dry wine was served.
It was indeed crisp and good!
With Yamagata's straw-roasted Spanish mackerel.

It's very light! Is it indeed an autumn wine? Or is it just the color with fall haha, instead it's closer to the summer wine I remember.
It's very light to drink, with a little light banana aroma! It goes well with the Chinese snack, pecans! This is the last bottle I brought back from Fukuoka, after that, I'll have to drink high priced sake from China again, so I'm looking forward to coming back next time!
I went to my usual liquor store in search of autumn sake...
I found Akiumo AKIMO, which was also featured in SakeLabo!
Not too sweet, but a solid sake,
A taste that is sure to repeat itself. I like it!
