bouken
I bought it at one of the five local Yamaya's that have a large selection of nama-shu and a relatively good turnover of products.
If you are not good at it, you can find a place that has a bottle that is more than a year old.
It was a little expensive, but I bought it. It's been a while since I've had Rikyubai. I've probably bought all of the Daimon Shuzo sake I've had in the past at Yamaya.
It is refreshing, light, and gorgeous. Slightly sweet.
I would like a little more umami. I know they add water, but it's not enough.
I couldn't understand the lychee-like flavor.
I didn't find it at Yamaya, but I might have preferred the unfiltered raw sake or the light nigori that they have at department stores or Asano Sake Shop.

The ginjo aroma on the nose is lychee-ish.
The aroma is nice, but the taste is flimsy.
