This is the second sake at a heat party for volunteers at work.
This is the last sake as there are two types of sake in the all-you-can-drink limit.
It seems to be a sake made by a major sake brewer, Nippon Zakari (Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture), but I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I have seen this brand.
Souka" means "to be served to everyone.
The label is classic, but the labeling "Super Special" is also classic.
In fact, Sobana has a long history of serving celebratory guests for a century.
The exterior is clear crystal.
The aroma was a little faint, perhaps due to the fact that it had been well chilled, with a hint of a gentle ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel is rather soft and smooth.
The taste is modest and gentle, with a sweetness and acidity that is not overpowering, and flows clear to a crisp finish.
According to the website of Nippon Zakari, it was described as rich and slightly sweet, but perhaps because it was well chilled and the crispness was emphasized, I felt it was refreshing and dry for a junmai ginjo.
The way you drink it is also important.
I got the impression that it was a classic junmai ginjo that lived up to its label.
Thank you very much for your kindness.

Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
I remember drinking Souka when it was under the imperial warrant and the name of the first year was changed to 2025 😋.
I also drank it because I heard it was sweet, but this one was pretty spicy 😅.

Good morning, bouken 😃.
You are a quintessential bouken-san, it's amazing that you can remember the sake you drank 6 years ago: ☺️
Perhaps the standard of taste evaluation is also from the classic era when the range of aroma and flavor was narrower.
