A deliciously acidic and well-balanced food sake 🍶.
I usually pass over small bottles with cloth labels because of their high price, but I bought this one because it was a 1.5 liter bottle and the pop-up said it was "great as a food sake"!
It has a gentle mouthfeel with a balance of umami acidity and bitterness. The aroma is a little ginjo with a nice, understated fragrance. It is a modern food sake with a little acidity. All the elements are nicely integrated without being too assertive.
No gassiness.
Delicious both cold and chilled. Best as a food sake!

Aged for 3 years. It seems to be a limited edition of Koyama Shoten.
The sweetness and spiciness are dry. It is sharp with umami, matured taste and matured aroma. It is good chilled, but it is better to warm it up to increase its umami, aroma, and spiciness. 😋😋😋😋
Compared to the Jungin that I had the other day, this is a classic medium-bodied sake.
No gassiness.
Brown lees are visible even from the outside of the green bottle. It mixed and disappeared in the bottle as I drank it. And it did not come out even after a few days. So the color is very brownish. But the mouthfeel gives the impression that the sake quality is beautiful👍.

The sake gods gave me this opportunity, so I opened the bottle to compare drinks before I finished Sake Mirai!
The bottle was opened with a bang, and the gasiness was strong. It has a gorgeous and fruity ginjo aroma.
The sweetness and spiciness is medium with a balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. Fresh and modern balance.
As expected of Jikin! Beautiful and perfect balance!
A perfect food sake!
But what's the difference between this and Sake Mirai? They are both delicious, but what's the difference? Can't you tell? 💦.
And from here, when I compared it with Sake Mirai, Sake Mirai has almost no miscellaneous taste or the classical delicious bitterness of sake. The rice was more polished and clearer and juicier.
Also, Sake Mirai, the bottle is smaller (💦).
Sake Mirai's Jikin characters are silver and reflect the light beautifully✨.
3,000 yen 👍 excluding tax.
