Purchased during a visit to the Umegawa liquor store in Shonai-machi. Classic standard junmai sake. A junmai sake with moderate body and a hint of rice sweetness. The current head brewer seems to be sticking to this style, which warms up quickly. There are many modern styles of sake in Shonai, as well as some that are light, tasty, and beautiful in keeping with the refined food culture of Tsuruoka-Sakata, but I think this one is really more along the lines of a classic.
It seems to be the most standard among the brands, and I would like to try something different in the future.
