I bought it on a business trip to Minami Aizu.
It is a junmai ginjo of Kokugon (silver label) at the end of autumn.
Clean as water. It has a rounded softness to it, perhaps due to the fact that it has been stored for a long time. The sweetness is moderate and is in the dry category, but it has a clean taste without any hindrance. I think it's only because it's polished to 50% rice polishing ratio. However, the flavor and acidity are added, and it has a solid feeling typical of Kokugun. In addition, the bitterness in the aftertaste is very good.
It is a typical Kokugon and I like it very much.
Because the business trip to Minamiaizu will end soon, it is very sad that I cannot buy this local brew, but if I see it in a liquor store, I want to buy it by all means.
