Sweetness: 1.5

Impression: Modern natural sake yeast
I like this sake and have repeated it several times.
The aroma is subdued, but there is definitely a nutty aroma derived from the natural yeast yeast. In the mouth, lactic acidity and gentle sweetness balance each other and give a smooth impression, but the citric acidity from Byakuya sticks to the side of the tongue and leaves a strange aftertaste. Combined with the soft, fresh yeast yeastiness, it is a technical, modern "umakuchi dry" sake.
It is a unique sake that is very technical, yet seriously tasty.
Pairing: Salted grilled chicken, octopus sashimi, vinegared pork, ponzu dishes, wild vegetable tempura, hamburgers, etc.
Repeat Score: 2.5
