I bought this sake over a month ago, and opened it for a reason and hadn't drunk it. It was stored in the vegetable room of the refrigerator, so the environment may not have been good. When I first smelled it from the bottle, I got the impression that it smelled like dust. When I poured it into a glass, I couldn't describe the scent, but it had the characteristic aroma of good sake. Perhaps it's because I've been drinking a lot of 80% polished rice and mizuhakamoto style sake lately, but it's more "light" than "refreshing". Is it a "light" type? Like water? After that, there is a moderate bitterness, a slight foaming, sweetness? Umami? That's the feeling. My personal opinion is that it's delicious, but it's a bit pricey and not to my taste. However, I had some kimchi in the fridge, so I drank it while eating kimchi and it was delicious. Maybe it's the kind of sake you need to drink with snacks. I think the sake I've been drinking recently is more for savoring on its own than for pairing with snacks, so I feel like I'm going in a different direction and my impressions are confused. Also, it tasted much better from the second glass than the first, so maybe it was separated in the bottle? Maybe it was separated in the bottle. It's definitely a delicious sake, so I'm looking forward to the second day and beyond.

My wife says, "Did it once have umami? I think of it as a slightly fizzy drink that has lost its umami. I want to buy it and drink it right away.

Day 2, what the hell, this is so good! I think the aroma is calmer than yesterday. The first sip is tangy, numbing, and dry. The firing sensation is good. After a day, the sweetness is gone and the aftertaste is clear. I also liked it when I chilled it.

Day Three. The tangy, spicy firing sensation is pretty much gone. Sour taste? →A bitter aftertaste, or is it a dry feeling? I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it tastes better than the second day.
