Kangiku's Denshogiku comes in two types: a yellow label for clear sake and a red label for orikarami, but this is actually the first time for the clear sake.
It has a strong sweetness that makes it suitable for drinking on its own, but it is clear and has a much more refreshing aftertaste than expected without being sticky, so it is not an aperitif or after-dinner drink, as it goes well with salads and light snacks. I was surprised that it was such a refreshing drink.
However, if you ask me if it goes with anything as a food sake, that is not the case, so be careful. It does not go well with salty pickles or sashimi, so it would be better with something light with a Western element.
The sweetness is a bit strong and the acidity is well balanced. This is a cappuccino type sake with tropical aromas of pineapple and melon. It has a juicy freshness and softness, so it is not too picky about who drinks it, and it seems to be a good sake for everyone and a good introduction to sake.
The red-labeled Denshogiku that I drank before was a more complex sake than this yellow Denshogiku, and I was able to confirm it again. Up until last year or so, I liked more complex sake, but recently I prefer clear, transparent sake, so I was very satisfied!
