I bought this at a supermarket in Akita.
I thought it would be fruity.
It is a rather robust food sake.
I paired it with local fish.
It complements the meal.
Sweetness followed by a little bitterness, acidity flowing and cutting. Sweet and sour type. Surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink. I want to try the raw sake version someday.

Three days have passed
To get rid of New Year's weight (!?)
A warmed sake for a relaxing evening drink
Surprisingly refreshing to drink
The warmth of the sake, combined with the lukewarmness of the sake
and the lukewarmness of the warmed sake, the sake went down smoothly.
I'll be able to enjoy it for a while with this and the nigori sake I've been saving up.
I think I can enjoy it for a while 🍶-.
Fruity, sweet and delicious.
But it is also sour and spicy, so it is rather refreshing.
Delicious.
It is freshly opened now, but it will be different tomorrow.
I thought it might be similar to Toyo Bijin Junmai Ginjo 50, so I compared them. Both are green apple type.
Ace - Sake meter degree -8
Toyo Bijin -> Sake meter degree -5
Toyo Bijin is stronger in fruitiness, aroma, and acidity. (Sweet and sour fruity).
Ace is a little weaker in fruitiness but stronger in sweetness. (A little heavy sweetness + spiciness)
I like both.
Postscript:
It seems richer after it has settled down overnight.
Kudokidokute Junmai Ginjo might be close to it...?
I thought Kudoki-uide was a heavier version of Ace, but I'm a little drunk, so I'm not sure.
I went to Akita, the land of beautiful sake 🎵
Of course, I also went to the sacred Eiraku Restaurant. I also drank Shinmasa's Ubei and Yonotori, which can also be drunk in Tokyo.
This time, I brought back three of my favorites as souvenirs. Today is the first of them. Akita's sake is often sweet and sour, but this one is dry and goes down easy.
You can drink it all the time without getting tired of it.
There were also red and purple varieties, both of which were delicious.
