This is my first time drinking Echigo-zakura, and it is well-balanced, has the flavor of rice in a daiginjo, but also has some miscellaneous flavors, is easy to drink, and has a perfect aftertaste, so I completely overdrank it!
Overall, this is one of those sakes that you can tell is from Niigata.
It went great with squid.
We received this sake as a consecration sake for the ground-breaking ceremony.
The sake is light and easy to drink.
I am thinking of using some of it as a cooking sake, since it is in a large quantity (2 shou). It would be better if it were heated. It is better at room temperature as a food sake.
