The confrontation with Senkou Yukidaruma has become an annual event. Yukidaruma has a wide range of arrangements, from a sweet and sour "de pop" taste to a strong push for umami without sweetness, all in the same bottle. The taste of Yukidaruma has changed so much depending on the timing of the year's shipment that it has become a once-in-a-lifetime creation (although it seems to be less blurred these days).
This is... the unshakeable finish that has been typical of Senkou Yukidaruma for the past several years.
The aroma is a lovely pear-like fruit aroma that is typical of mukorizake, with a hint of sweetness and umami.
When you drink it, you will find that contrary to its appearance, it is dry enough to be served as a food sake. Especially on the first day, it feels even drier because of the fizziness, so the sweet and juicy aroma acts as a balancer. Of course, there is a sweetness to it (especially after a while after pouring it into a glass), but the 13% alcohol content gives it a light impression.
There is also a dry muddy sake called Nanabonjari, but its aroma is more rustic with a graininess, and it is not really sweet to begin with, and its alcohol content is 16%. The impression is quite different.
