I had a bottle of Nabeshima Blossoms moon.
I had heard that Nabeshima was the first sake with a gaseous taste, and I was interested in it, but the timing was not quite right.
I had intended to debut it at the new sake New Moon, but there were too many must-buy items during the new sake season, and I had to give up in tears due to capacity issues in the refrigerator. This was one of the reasons for my subsequent Lemacom purchases.
The rice used in Blossoms moon is called Tajima kyoiku. As I had never heard of Tajima kyoroku sake before, I looked it up and found out that it is a sake brewing rice born in Hyogo Prefecture, and that it was originally a variety from Tottori Prefecture, but was adapted to the climate of Tajima. It is said to be a rare rice that has made a comeback in recent years, although its production once ceased due to the later introduction of Yamadanishiki and Omachi.
The bottle was opened quietly after being cooled to below zero, as there was a warning on the neck and back label.
The bottle was opened without incident, without the cork flying open or the sake overflowing.
When we poured it into the glass, fine bubbles appeared. It was a fresh, fruity, and delicious bottle with the sweetness and sourness of the rice melded with the umami of the rice.

Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby!
Nabeshima was the first new one we've had in a long time 🆕.
I'm glad I bought Lemacom, but when I filled up, I ended up just stocking up because the amount I drink = the amount I buy 😅.
