I had seen this sake at the shopping center but hadn't had a chance to try it, but after reading your post, I've been curious about it.
It's not that I've been avoiding the big brands (breweries), but I haven't had Kikumasamune for a long time, even though it's a local brand.
At first I thought I'd get the silver pack, but then I saw the gold pack next to it, so I bought that one.
The rice polishing rate is 70%.
As everyone has posted, this sake is very fruity and easy to drink.
The initial mouthfeel is reminiscent of a green apple, and it's refreshing in a way that you wouldn't expect from a Junmaishu.
It is refreshing even after drinking, and there is no sticky feeling at all.
It is a very straightforward sake with no peculiarities.
At just over 1,000 yen for 1.8 liters, it's a great value!
It's so good that I think this is all I need to drink at home. I think this is the only sake I drink at home anymore.
