Mellow dry taste 15.5°+3 1.4 apple ginjo aroma Hachitan-Nishiki K901  A phantom that I had drunk only at an izakaya six months ago.  At that time, I didn't drink much sake, so I checked it again.  The ginjo aroma was moderate, and I felt it was suitable for a mid-meal drink. After a meal, you can concentrate more on the flavor and enjoy the apple-like sweetness, which is delicious.  However, I had sushi and cheese with it, and in this case, a drier, lighter sake might have been better as a mid-meal sake.  If anything, I felt the after-dinner taste was more pronounced. The ingredients are mainly from western Japan, such as Yamadanishiki, Hachitanishiki, and Omachi. Hiroshima has a high share of sake produced in Hiroshima, and not many sake from outside the prefecture are available. If you have any recommendations, I would like to hear them.
