Overall 5 (out of 10)
I visited Hirata Sake Brewery on June 1 and purchased this sake.
It is made from 100% "Isehikari" rice, the only two rice plants that survived the typhoon that hit the Ise region in 1989.
According to the description, "Fruity and refreshing minerality reminiscent of melon and yellow apples. It has a beautiful acidity that is mature and clears up nicely. Slender body and dry taste." It is described as having a "slender body and dry taste.
My impression was that the slightly stronger fructose-like sweetness (juice-like) and slightly subdued astringency continued independently to the end. That was my impression.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I perceived was as follows.
-Aroma: A slight ginjo aroma
-A hint of astringency that passes through the nose.

I was a little surprised because the taste impression was completely different from when I tasted it at the brewery. ‼️ It was an expensive sake, so I was looking forward to it while holding out for a mini-bottle, which is a little disappointing.
