✩4.0
Japanese>English
Temperature 5°C
Taste 80
Color Pale brown, lighter than highball.
Nose: No freshness. Mild.
Taste: Soft and rich, like a Hiyamoroshi with a bit of Kijoshu blended in.
Overall impression: No signs of damage for a sake that has been sitting in the store for 8 months. However, since it is a draft sake, it probably doesn't taste like it should.
I should have compared it with a new one.

It was sitting in the refrigerated section of a local co-op and there was only one bottle left, so I bought it without a second thought.
It was delicious! The first sip has a hint of sweetness, but once it crosses the throat, it is bitter and refreshing. I love it. And I was impressed by the coop's nostalgia..!
I checked the brewery and found that it is located in Niigata-Tsugawa. I used to love the hot springs in that area (around Sakibana) and stayed there many times, so I feel nostalgic. I would love to go back.
