Cold sake
It reminds me of the garage in my hometown. Onions and green onions are placed haphazardly. Clear air
Drink. One sip and it's tangy, full-bodied, juicy and sweet. Right after that, it's crisp and sharp. A super dry taste that doesn't lie. It is the kind of sake you want to drink in the hot summer. When you swallow it, you can smell the slight scent of rice.

The snow that falls slowly at 2 a.m.
Drink it. It is very light. It has an aroma characteristic of Niigata's local sake, like fermented straw that has been burnt. It has a little bitterness and a strong astringency. When you swallow it, a tiny bit of acidity disappears in an instant.

The pure mellow taste of rice stands out. Milky aroma
Drink it. Even though it is very dry, you can feel the fullness and flavor in it. The rice is very humble and honest. When you swallow it, there is nothing left in a good way.

A snowy night that deepens further
Drink it. It goes into the mouth easily, and casually leaves a richness and flavor behind. If you are looking for a strong dry sake, this is the temperature for this sake. It's a little bit of a silver bullet. When you swallow it, there is nothing left but the bittersweetness.
This sake is the opposite of the recent boom in richness. I like this attitude of a head-on fighter.
I imagine that even if you washed your face with this sake, it wouldn't be sticky. That's how dry this sake is.
I won't be repeating this brand, but I will definitely buy it when I find a new product!
