Suigei純米吟醸 吟麗 芳醇辛口

I'm a straight shooter for my wife, but I like Makunouchi for bento(?). Recently, I tend to buy small sake (less than 300ml).
Basically, they are only made in 720ml bottles, so most of them are standard brands, but I noticed that the renewal of Drunken Whale's Ginrei was in the house, which is strange.
Well, speaking of Drunken Whale, it has a dry taste that is typical of Kochi. It is a very dry sake, which is typical of Kochi, but the impression is very different because it is a mellow dry sake.
First of all, the aroma is very Junmai Ginjo-like, but the fruity Ginpu-like flavor is reserved, the rice flavor is also light, and the aftertaste is well-balanced with a moderate acidity and umami.
I believe that Drunken Whale Brewery has been a respectable long-established sake brewery since the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but they have been bold and aggressive in making a modern sake from their representative brand.
This was one of the bottles that made me realize that this is the very reason why long-established breweries are still long-established.
