The taste was interesting, with a bit of a yogurt or lactobacillus drink feel, and a bitter taste.
In general, I found this sake to be delicious.

Manzai rice
Rice polishing ratio: 70
Manzai rice was the rice offered to the Emperor Taisho on the occasion of his enthronement ceremony in November 1915. Its cultivation had ceased as the months passed since then, but a farmer in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, has revived it for the first time in 100 years.
At this point, I was curious to know what the rice tasted like.
The aroma is faintly muscat-like.
The taste had a melon-like sweetness and sourness at first, with a slight gassy sensation.
The balance of sweetness, spiciness, acidity, and umami is wonderful, as is typical of Nitoshi. The flavor changes as you drink it, so you can enjoy it for a long time.
I still like Ni-Rabbit.

At a store in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture.
It is said to be a limited edition sake available only at this store.
The label stated that it was a "limited edition sake blended with junmai ginjo-shu of different flavors.
Does that mean it is a mixture of two different sake? It was a bit like a "mix" of two different sake, but in general, the sake had no alcohol angle and the sweetness cut through nicely, making it a good mid-meal sake.
It was surprisingly tasty, but not distinctive in a good way.
I think it is suitable for when you want to drink a reasonable sake with other drinks and snacks.
