Purchased at Dogo Onsen. While buying Botchan dango, I looked at the sake corner and saw a very cool label, so I bought it!
When I opened the bottle and poured it in, the aroma was subdued and refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and citrus-like, with a hint of brewer's alcohol.
It has a smooth, tangy, light and dry taste. I was a bit surprised because the Ume Nishiki and Kagawa's Kinryo I drank during my trip were sweet!
On its own, it is a simple dry sake, but when paired with a meal, it gives the impression of a soft, grain-like flavor that is easily felt.
It also has an astringent taste in the aftertaste, which combined with the astringency of the label, made me think of "sparrow return" instead of "swallow return"...⚔️
I remember that there were many breweries other than "Iyo Kagiya" and "Ishizuchi" that I didn't know about, and I couldn't stop looking at them.
Ehime is a great sake brewery, isn't it?
