One of my favorite sake, Abeno Ipponjiki. Sorry to say this is right after it was released, but this is last year's lot. I didn't drink it this year, but left it in the bottle for a while to lightly age...well, actually, I just kept it because I didn't want to waste it lol.
To put it simply, this sake has a "very easy-to-understand taste". It has an excellent balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, but it is also dry without being too sweet, making it a good food sake on its own.
I like the banana aroma that reminds me of alcohol and magic ink. The juicy fruity acidity and mellowness from the orikara flavor coexist nicely with the freshness and crispness of the slightly sparkling unpasteurized sake.
This is why it is sweet but not sweet, and sweet but goes well with food, which is a strange contradiction.
When I drank it with my friends who are occasional sake drinkers, it was quite popular, so I am wondering what sake beginners would think of it. Personally, I enjoyed it very much on the fourth day, as the flavors blended in very well.
I started drinking at the beginning of the new sake season, and this and the recent ARANAMI seemed to be the answer to the deliciousness of last year's ABE! Impressive!

Good evening, Kotaro!
I'm glad to share my favorite! I heard that the 1st one is sweet and tasty, and the 2nd one after the new year is a little drier with a sour taste. It's a fun season of consecutive delicious releases: ☺️
