I remember buying it at Kasuga-ya in Abiko for about 1,200 yen.
After stirring, the color was dark and cloudy, makgeolli-like. It looks fine as a cloudy sake and does not seem to have any graininess.
The aroma is like sake lees or koji-like amazake, dairy products...thinner than yakult, like pilkul, or like ponzu or popcorn due to the koji-like taste.
The flavor is tangy but dry, like Calpis, with a texture of amazake that is not too thick, like the Shirakami sake drunk at the Hinamatsuri Festival, but slightly tangy, stimulating, and dry.
It is a smooth muddy sake with a smooth acidity that blends smoothly with the yamahai style.
If you drink only the Uzuwami, it seems a little sweeter.
The low price is also attractive. This mellowness is actually more like a Hinamatsuri Shirakamizake than a harsh winter sake, and would be good for early spring.
It can be served with dry food, such as hot pot, or on its own in summer.
