I bought it to celebrate the fact that I had a little something on my shoulders. So I bought it at a well-managed liquor store instead of at the supermarket like I usually do. I was attracted by the claim "fruity but suitable for food wine". As it says, it has a sweet and fruity aroma that passes through the nose, but the sweetness does not linger, and the taste is sharp and crisp, but the umami of the rice is still there. I honestly wondered what the "umami of rice" often referred to in sake is! I thought, "This is it! My tongue is happy, happy, happy. The bitter gourd stir-fry, avocado and prosciutto ham salad, and potato and cheese galette on the menu all go well together, but they are also too delicious on their own, and I can't stop eating more...even though I have an early day tomorrow: ...... Someone stop me! ...... I'm not sure what it is, but the few I've had so far, I feel like my tongue gets dumber and sweeter with each drink, but this one, on the other hand, just keeps getting better and better... I think. That's one of the reasons why I've been using the ♾️ loop. I liked the different kind of sake like the Sanuki Kuraudai the other day, but the best sake is the one with a clear umami taste that goes well with a meal. It was a bottle of sake that made me think once again how good sake is and how delicious it is.

2024.8.2 Today, a week later, I drank it again and found that the sweetness and alcoholiness had become harsher, and the umami had weakened. I wondered if it tasted like this, and thought I could drink it more smoothly... I wonder if there is a limit to how long it can be stored in a home refrigerator... Sake is innocent...
