Junmai Hon Dry Brewing uses unique fermentation techniques to create a deep flavor with a refreshing crispness. It is crisp and tight when served chilled, and its flavor is even brighter when heated. It is a dry junmai sake with a good sharpness that will appeal to sake connoisseurs.
The "makazashi" is a sharp little sword used mainly by fishermen in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture.
It is considered to be a good luck charm to ward off evil because it cuts off evil. It is also recommended as a sake for celebrating the New Year and to drive away evil spirits.

(My impression after drinking it)
It is a dry and crisp sake without much ginjo aroma. It is not too assertive, making it perfect for a mid-meal drink. I thought back to how Hatsusun tasted like. In the mouth, it is dry but has a hint of sweetness.
