I enjoyed this sake very much last year. This year, I went to buy it as soon as it came out! How is it possible to set a price that doesn't make you feel expensive, but rather inexpensive, in this era of huge price hikes? So I bought two bottles. It's delicious...! And delicious! I drank a Jungin of Amami last year, which had a very similar taste. Nowadays, many breweries are making efforts, and it seems that clearer and cleaner products are becoming more and more common. Even so, I was surprised at the clarity of this sake from the moment I took the first sip. From the standing aroma, refreshing nuances like citrus peel can be detected in a very gentle way. And yet it is calm. Perhaps it is because it has a somewhat grassy feel to it. The well-balanced sweetness and acidity are very elegant. There is a slightly fine line bitterness that gives it some fruitiness. It reminds me of Japanese food with just a little bit of Japanese citrus peel or juice added. So I tried it with takikomi gohan. Oh no, it goes together so well. I'm glad I'm Japanese...I'm impressed again this year! Looking forward to another bottle...
