Personally, Kawanakajima and Genmai are more difficult to obtain than Jyushiyo. I think Marie Antoinette once said, "If you can't buy it, just drink it at an izakaya," so this time I gave up on Jikin and tried it!
It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, and perhaps because it comes after Kameizumi, it gives a subdued impression, but it also has a strong ginjo aroma, so I think it would be absolutely gorgeous if drunk on its own.
There is also a botanical impression somewhere, like shiitake mushrooms and earth. Hence, it is not completely for beginners, but I thought it is a sake that is popular with everyone, from moderate beginners to sake drinkers, which is no wonder it is so popular.
I would have liked to drink it when the temperature was a little higher... I think I would like it more when the umami flavor opens up...!

Good evening, flos_lingua_est 🍶.
I was so surprised by Marie Antoinette's drinking theory 🤣.
Kawanakajima is sold out soon 🤔.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo🌙
Wasn't the queen famous for her drinking habits? LOL!
Not only does it sell quickly, but I've encountered it zero times, and I don't even know where it's sold in the first place 🥲.

I saw them several times this year at Isego (main store and Meguro store).
