It was described as fruity, but the finish is tangy and dry. The sweetness is felt only for a moment in the mouth. But it is perfect with horse sashimi.
It has a strong acidity and is perfect for the hot season. I thought it would have been nice to drink it on a more summery day since the nights are already much cooler today. It also has a hint of sweetness, so I think it is suitable as a food sake with Japanese food.
This is my first time drinking this sake, and it has the same light taste and strong sweetness as the recent sake from Saitama. It also has a slight bitterness and a spicy aftertaste that leaves the mouth feeling refreshed.
I tried heating it up, but it has a strong acidity. If it has this much acidity even when heated, I would like to pair it with strong-flavored simmered dishes or Western food.

Today we are serving it with grilled salt-crusted swordfish, but we would like to try it with Western food as well.
Since it is a nama-shu, it has an even lighter flavor than the one we had yesterday. The sake is paired with narezushi, which is a type of sushi with red snapper, and the strength of the flavors are just the same.
It has a good balance of spiciness and sweetness and cannot be said to be leaning one way or the other. It has a good sharpness and is suitable for a mid-meal drink. I prepared a cold oden-like dish with sardine ball and fish paste as a side dish. It is just the right sake for Japanese food.

I prepared a salad of bonito tataki with a dressing made from olive oil and wine vinegar, and this sake took it all in stride.
It is a dark cloudy sake with quite a bit of lees. It has a strong acidity. It contains a lot of gas, so the aftertaste is crisp. I think it would go well with beef stew and other strong-flavored Western dishes. It seems to go well with Nara pickles, a specialty of the same prefecture, but when I visited there the other day, there were no pickle shops available and I could not purchase any. Next time I visit Nara, I will try to buy it as well.
It is spicy and has a slight bitterness. It has a firm weight, so it matches the simmered dishes I prepared today. Since it was raining heavily, I didn't go shopping and only had leftovers, miso peas made from leftover raw peanuts, and thick-flavored snacks, but they happened to go well with sake.
It has a fruity citrus aroma, but it seems to be more spicy. It was quite warm during the day, so I decided to make it a summer sake. I decided on bonito today after seeing the news of a good catch of bonito in the prefecture.
