The rice and rice malt are domestically produced, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. I got the Hokkaido limited edition as a gift.
The appearance of the light blue frosted glass bottle with a label using Shinzo Maeda's work "White Illusion" according to the cosmetic box, makes one imagine a refreshing, crisp, dry sake.
When poured into a glass at room temperature, it has a light golden color, and the aroma is more fragrant than expected. However, it is not a ginjo aroma, but rather a surprisingly mellow, thick, and deep aroma that is often found in sake made from sake yeast or yamahai, and is a rather complex aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the complexity is foretold by the aroma. It is a little different from the cool and refreshing impression given by the bottle and label.
The rich flavor is enjoyable and tasty, but when you taste it, you will notice that it is crisp and cohesive with a very light aftertaste.
When I enjoyed the entire bottle, not just parts of it, from the aroma to the final aftertaste, I realized that the impression on the bottle and label were not far off from what I had expected.
