You can hear a pushy sound when you open the bottle. Kinmon Nishiki is a rare type of rice that is rarely grown in many areas. We bought it while chatting with a brewer who was selling it at an antenna shop in Hokuriku. We were not allowed to taste it after Corona, but we were allowed to do so at the time. Thank goodness.
The aroma is banana, but it's not sticky, but light. In the mouth, the taste of rice is transferred to the tongue along with alcohol. After that, the flavor turns to sweetness, and this sweetness gives a unique taste as if you were eating a hazelnut sweet. Perhaps this may be due to the influence of its parent Yamada Nishiki. However, it's not as sweet as Kishoushu, though.
When air is present, the sweetness increases and the pineapple flavor that was behind the lightness appears. Instead, the nuts disappear.
It is easy to drink with less alcohol smell and less stimulation. It has a sweetness, but the flavor left in the mouth shows that it is a sake that you can enjoy the flavor and is more towards the dry side, so I think it can be used as a mid-meal drink as well. (But it's only lightly seasoned).
