Seigo
A gift. Sake that I would not often buy myself. With supper. I don't have the concept of "dry" to begin with.
Almost no aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it is dry with little sweetness. After that, there is a sharp alcohol stimulation in the mouth, followed by a bitter taste. The rice flavor can be felt as it warms up, and there is little sweetness.
Is this a sake like water?
When served with pork belly and daikon radish, the sake absorbs the umami and sweetness and becomes a perfect supporting player. The sake plays a supporting role without getting in the way. I was impressed by the sake's ability to absorb the flavor and sweetness of the pork belly and daikon.
After all, it's no good not to drink.
Postscript
As I often drink sweet sake, I found that it refreshes my palate if I drink it in between other sake drinks.
Addendum again
Today, I drank it with negitoro (green onion) and found it to be a delicious sake with a surprisingly sweet taste. This is a sake that should be drunk with a meal.
