A junmai sake with the words of an existing letter from Ryoma Sakamoto on the label.
It is a very dry junmai sake brewed by Shibotan Shuzo. On the label are the words of a letter written by Ryoma Sakamoto to his sister, Otome, when he was the head of a naval academy under Kaishuu Katsu, which reads, "I want to make a fresh start in Japan. It is a light, dry junmai sake with a strong, robust flavor, but with a refreshing finish. Why don't you think about Ryoma's ambition while drinking this light and dry junmai sake, which is typical of Tosa's local sake?

(My impression after drinking it)
The appearance is completely colorless and transparent. It has no ginjo aroma. It has a sweet taste in the mouth, contrary to its dry image. But it is firmly dry through the throat. There is a slight lingering flavor. You can enjoy it as much as you like. It is not at all like Akita's Kariho Super Dry Sake, which is only spicy, but the umami of the rice is also well expressed.
