Toyo Bijin has a Jungin series of sake with different rice, which is my favorite because it is easy to drink and tastes good for the price.
This Jihonbeni is a Daiginjo-shu made with more polished rice. It is not junmai-zukuri, but that is why its technique shines through.
It has an aroma of ethyl caproate that wafts from the moment it is poured into the glass. And when you drink it, you will be surprised by the ginjo aroma...and there is a sweetness but no sourness. I don't like this one.
I like sweet and sour aroma sake, but I am not so good at this kind of sake without acidity. So I sometimes can't drink sake that excels in aroma, which is common in Tohoku sake, even if it is famous.
However, this one is not harsh on the palate! This is probably due to its transparency or cleanliness. If it is this beautiful, even a combination of flavors that you don't like can be drunk with pleasure. If it is more fragrant than this, it is a bit harsh.
Although it is fruity, it does not end there. It is gentle and refreshing, so I think it will appeal to a wide target audience.
