Rigel
I bought what I wanted at Inamaya in Chiba station, and then dropped by "sakebase" in Nishi-Chiba, the next station! I bought this sake at the next station, "sakebase" in Nishi-Chiba.
It seems to be limited to two stores. There were two kinds of sake: fresh and hi-ire, so I went with the hi-ire one I liked better.
The gas pressure is high, so be careful when opening the bottle.
The aroma is fresh and sweet, like a Japanese pear. And still young green melon.
The fizzy and crisp mouthfeel was like a rainfall. The acidity is effective, and it has a beautiful aftertaste with no clutter, just as it claims to be jun-dai.
I noticed that it was made on the lees, so I mixed it up, and the silky mouthfeel and richness came together to create a thick, robust, drinkable sake.
The bottle is interesting because it is a special bottle that fits in the door pocket of the refrigerator.
There is no indication of labeling requirements on the label! I thought it was on the bottom of the bottle. It's so hard to take a picture after opening 🤣.
