Sake degree -15

) I was told that it was super sweet, 3 to 5 times sweeter than regular junmai sake, and recommended for beginners, which raised the bar.
Now it was time to try it.
This is...
Ahhh! It's so good!
It has a great richness to it.
My mother, who normally doesn't like sake, raved about how good it was!
It is not too fruity, which I personally like, but you can taste the sweetness of the rice.
My first impression was that it was a sweet wine.
At this price, it tastes like a world-renowned sake! I can understand why they say "This is a sake recognized around the world! (Maybe it's the kind of award you can get if you pay for it.)
The aori also says "Winner of the GOLD medal at the International Wine Challenge 2024 (Junmai Ginjo Sake category)", so I wondered if the sake tasted more like wine. I also thought it might have a wine-like taste.
In any case, this sake is a hit with sweet sake lovers and beginners like me!
I'm adding it to my favorites.
