To put it bluntly, I bought this liquor a year or two ago as a tying-in to buy a certain liquor. I may not have reviewed that one.
I looked up the price of this sake, and it is quite expensive!
The first sip when it was quite cold...the clarity of the sake is clear enough to tell from the first sip that it is a good sake. The volume is not that great, but it is quite wonderful to pair with Japanese food.
As the temperature rises a little, the ginjo aroma instantly reminds one of apples and pineapple. It is the same when you drink it, and to be honest, it is as if you are drinking a recent Hana-yoso. It is gorgeous, but also clear, pungent, and sharp.
When the temperature rises, you can taste its volume and umami, and it is interesting that it even has a hint of richness like brown sugar. This is the point where it differs from the Jungin series of Hanayokyu. On the other hand, it may be similar to Daiginjo-style sake.
Considering the price, I honestly can't tell how it differs from the others.
However, if you ignore the price and evaluate the aroma purely, there is no doubt that it is a delicious sake that can compete with those premium sakes. Sake that is good as a gift has a high level of quality!
