It was a gift.
I don't know this brand at all, so I drank it with no prior knowledge.
Lightly cooled and opened. The aroma is pure and fruity. On the palate, the light spiciness comes first, followed by the flavor. There is almost no acidity and the aftertaste is short. It's a junta, but since it's a flame-broiled sake, I warmed it up to about a human skin temperature, and that's a great strike for me. Simply put, it has a very crisp and sweet flavor. If it's the season, it goes well with salted grilled saury or dried persimmons for dessert.
Famous brands are delicious, of course, but I'm sure there are plenty of bargains to be found in local brands that aren't nationally available that you just don't know about and that suit your personal taste. I hope to discover those unknown tastes for myself from time to time.
