At a sushi restaurant, I asked for something to go with uni (sea urchin) and was served it.
The sake was so clear and transparent that it went right in and the aftertaste faded out beautifully.
It went perfectly with the Nemuro Takahashi sea urchin.
It was an excellent sake that did not interfere with the meal.

The rice used and the degree of rice polishing are undisclosed.
The aroma is banana. It is said that a lot of malic acid is used, and a closer sniff reveals a fresh apple aroma at the end.
It has a strong acidity, but it is not unpleasant and can be drunk refreshingly.
It has the feel of sake made with wine yeast, but with just the right acidity and umami to balance it out.
It would go well with oysters, cream cheese, or anything else that would go well with wine.
