It's a 35% polished Daiginjo class sake! If it's a Nakadori, it can cost close to 10,000 yen... but if it's a blend of Araduki and Tameshi, you can buy it for only 2,000 yen, so it's a huge bargain. I don't know how to explain it, but it's hard to explain with such high specs. I'll try to give you a simple explanation. The aroma is really a typical Hououmida ginjo aroma. There is little miscellaneous taste, and sweetness and sourness are the center of the taste. Yes, it is sweet, but it is not too sweet. It is said that Aradaruki has a rough and fresh taste, and Tameshi has a complex taste with a lot of miscellaneous flavors, but this sake doesn't have the Aradaruki taste, but it doesn't have the Tameshi taste. I paired it with garland chrysanthemum with sesame paste, and the bitterness and freshness of the garland chrysanthemum harmonized with the freshness and sweetness of the sake, and it was delicious. Personally, I think the second day is wonderful. The roughness is removed and the taste becomes muscat-like and easy to drink. It's the kind of drink you'd rather have with everyone than alone! Oh, I'd love to bring it to a drinking party. It's the kind of sake that will surely bring a smile to your face.

Hello, flos_lingua_est ❗️ I completely agree with your thoughts on day 2🤝. I even regretted going ahead with the cup on the first day😓. Day 3 was just as calm and beautiful as day 2✨.

Good evening, tkmt! I'm a little more confident in my palate now that you seem to have the same opinion! LOL! I also often regret drinking too much on the first day, so this was a good lesson for me again 😂.
