The spring release was a long-term preservation.
QR code on the label. And the alleged seal is Orca? It was ^^;
It's a Maikaze version of the very popular Naokumi series. But it is 60% Junmai standard.
It's slightly fizzy, melon, and has a strong ramune feeling. It's refreshing and crisp, with a strong bitter aftertaste. When you drink it, it doesn't degrade at all, and it's fresh, but it's somehow off from the current season, or out of season. (I don't blame the sake! It's my responsibility). But I can feel the goodness of the sake well enough. I've been drinking a lot of Maikaze, and I think I'm starting to understand its characteristics, but I think the dominant flavor is the one that is common to Machida Shuzo's sake brewing. It is a modern sake that will appeal to many sake lovers.
Even so, compared to other rice varieties, Maikaze seems to have a depth of flavor that is more connoisseur-friendly.
