Alcohol content: 15 Ginga Rice polishing ratio: 50 Winner of the Gold Prize in the Premium Daiginjo category at the Wineglass Delicious Sake Awards 2025. At a sake meeting in Tokyo. The fruity and mellow aroma stands up very well as shown in the chart on the back label. Although I did not drink it in a wine glass, the taste is smooth and refreshingly sweet, with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. If I have a chance to drink it again, I would like to drink it in a wine glass.

Alcohol content: 7%. Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:59 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. It is a low alcohol sake at 7 degrees C. It is orikagara and has a strong gaseous taste as the name suggests. As the name "sour" implies, it has a gaseous taste. There is a yogurt-like nuance in the back, but it may be similar to grapefruit sour. It is characterized by sweet and sourness, but the sweetness is slightly dominant. Easy to drink and delicious.
