The aroma is a mixture of pineapple and white wine, just like the usual Sanpangiku. It has a strong rice flavor. The alcohol smell is almost zero.
The taste is on the thin side for a Mihochrysanthemum, but the sweetness like pineapple comes on the palate, and then it is replaced by the rice flavor. The ratio of sweetness and umami of the rice is about 2:8, but it is sweet to begin with, so overall it is a sweet sake.
The alcohol is a little stinging in the throat, which is one of the weakest parts of the drink.
When it is exposed to air, it becomes more like a wine, with a foul smell (not in a bad way) for some reason. This change was unlike anything I've ever had in the Mihochrysanthemum I've had before, so I personally found it a very interesting drink.
The usual*.
It has little change in taste, but it is sweet to begin with, so if you are a wine drinker by nature (which is the case with Miyoshikiku in general) or if you are a beginner to sake and drink fruit wine, it will suit you very well. In the case of Miyoshikiku, the flavours change in the mouth as you drink it, but this one is simple and sweet, but you can also taste the rice flavour, so it covers the basics.
So I personally felt that this is a sake that is suitable for a wide range of people. This is a very educational sake.
