There is no doubt that it is a delicious sake, but its character has faded a bit. The sweetness and acidity are subdued, giving the impression of more emphasis on balance.
I think it has become more balance oriented.
It is described as nigori (nigori sake), but it is really just a bit of ogara (a hint of ogara). The taste is generally as described on the label, and it is delicious.
The acidity is not as strong as other Eiko-Fuji wines. I thought it was best to drink it at a slightly warmer temperature, not at a very cold temperature.
Although it is labeled SPARK, the fizziness is very slight. Fruity and tasty, but quite robust. It is just right on the rocks in the summer. A chaser is also a must.
