3.5
Little top note; 50% polished with little clutter. Simple and clean taste.
Not good in a wine glass. The aroma is more pronounced in a wide-mouth sakeglass. When heated up, the flavor is more pronounced.
The manufacturer is Kojima Sohonten of Toko.

Well, it's been a while since I've tried it,
I don't like it very much.
It has a similar aroma to the Banshu Ikkyo I drank the other day, and I thought so then too.
Rice? Yeast?
★4.0
A low-polished raw sake aged for 7 years. I thought it would be heavier, but it is surprisingly refreshing. However, it is still full-bodied and full of umami.
4.0
Gently delicious and sharp. It tastes like rice. When heated, it becomes sweeter and more fragrant. It does not have the acidity of the Junmai sake we had before.

Dry sake with just the right amount of umami.
Good for the first cup.
Made with Comet, Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing. Produces a light-flavored sake with low protein content.
3.5
The rice flavor is strong. It is sweet but has a good sharpness.
Perfect for a mealtime sake.
Toyama's sake is delicious.
The sweetness increases when heated, but the aroma does not spread.
4.5
Rich flavor and sharpness.
Warmed it up and served with grated pumpkin from Mr. Chiba's pairing book.
Quite my favorite. I feel the ability of a long-established company.
3.5
Coexistence of rice aroma and acidity.
The acidity is strong when drunk cold. When heated, it becomes mild and mildly delicious.
It is best lukewarm.
