Oh, this is special. It tastes yellow, but there is something different from the others. It is sweet, with almost no ripe aroma, and has a umami taste that is different from the umami of rice in sake, with almost no spiciness or bitterness. The taste is flat, without any beginning or end, and indescribable. Hmmm, what is this? It's like Shaoxing sake stretched out with a pasta roller. I would not drink it the next time I encounter it.

It has a slight sense of aging, but not enough to be bothersome, and has a mild umami and a tangy spiciness. It is not in the image of Shiga sake's umakuchi (flavorful) taste, but it is good in general. It has a mild maturity with little character, so it is suitable for a wide range of dishes except sashimi. It tastes better warmed than cold. It's not what you would expect from Shiga sake, though.

It has a strong flavor, slightly sweet, slightly sour, and rather tangy and dry at the end. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, so it is not too much, but it has a rich taste. It is a bit distinctive, but it is easy to match with food. But why such a strange name?
