Although it is called dry, it has a rather gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and a pleasantly bitter taste.
It goes well with both meat and fish dishes.
It is a delicious sake with a gaseous taste, refreshing sweetness, and a refreshing bitterness that comes afterwards without being heavy.
I bought this sake when I visited the Takai Sake Brewery in Ojiya, Niigata. The president of the brewery was very hospitable and told me many stories about the brewery.
Perhaps it is because it is not often sold outside of the prefecture, but I would like many people to try this excellent product.
It has a mildly robust flavor and acidity, so it is not heavy and you will never get tired of it.
We enjoyed it hot or lukewarm with buri daikon (Japanese radish), and it was a taste that penetrated our bodies.
It is a delicious sake with a gentle bitterness-based tanginess, sweetness, and acidity that are in opposition to each other.
It is also attractive in that it shows different depths of flavor depending on the temperature and accompaniments.
