A few years ago, I happened to come across a sake from the Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery in Asahikawa, which I happened to watch on "Gaia no Yoake" (Dawn of Gaia), and I bought it without a second thought.

The fruity aroma from the glass is strong. The alcohol content is a little too much.
In the mouth, you can taste a refreshing sweetness and a firm umami of rice. After that, the aroma with a bit of sourness spreads gorgeously throughout the mouth. The aroma and alcohol aftertaste are stronger than expected, though it was described as having a good sharpness. The balance is great as an evening drink, but I think I would prefer a more refreshing aftertaste when drinking it by itself.
