I bought it at a sake brewery because it won the 2022 Platinum Award at Kura Master. The label gave me the impression of a floral sake, but in fact it was the exact opposite. The aroma was typical of the hard times for Japanese sake, and when you drink it, it has a strong dry sake-like acidity, warm citrusy but slightly withered. The taste is rich, not very sharp, and leaves a sticky taste on the tongue. I tried all the recommended ways to drink it, but none of them satisfied me. It is relatively easy to drink on the rocks and warmed, but not for me. I wondered what kind of food French restaurateurs would pair this sake with, and felt a difference in sensitivity.
