This is the Aino-sato Junmai-shu from Nanyo Jozo, which is famous for Hanayo-yoku. It's a delicious sake with a good balance of umami and sourness, like a fresh apple. It's delicious 😋 and the price is good too. The price is 1320 yen for a four-pack.

It has an alu feel to it, but it's delicious with a nice pleasant tartness. I enjoyed it warm last year and will enjoy it slowly again this year.

Is this a local brand of the same brewery as Hanayo-yoku?
The rice is said to be Gohyakumangoku. It's a completely different brew, but it's refreshing and has a gorgeous taste.
I had an image of it being classical and hard to drink, but it's a modern sake with impressive acidity.
The one I drank recently that is similar is GOGO Gohashi. Gohashi has a muscat-like atmosphere, and this one has a green apple-like atmosphere.
