tomy
It is a common regional junmai sake with no aroma or special flavor and a slightly bitter taste when drunk cold. It does not taste like sake. At room temperature, it starts to taste a little sweet, and when heated up, it starts to taste sour and sweet and has a thicker flavor. I think it is best served at room temperature or higher. I don't drink sake with meals, so this type of sake didn't suit me. This type of sake makes me drunk too quickly.
I think this brewery is more famous for its Asahi Nikko brand, but their website only lists Biwa no Mai as Daiginjyo and above, so I guess it is not the kind of sake that should be listed on their website, but rather a sake for local consumption. This is one of the sake I received as a souvenir from Shiga.
