It was an easy-drinking sake with moderate umami without being flashy, whether served cold or at room temperature.

I thought it would be a Junmai Ginjo with a strong Omachi flavor, but it wasn't. The aroma and taste were well balanced. The aroma and taste are well balanced, and it was delicious even though it was drunk chilled.

I bought it because it is famous in Gunma, but I didn't like it much.
Maybe it was because it was a junmai ginjo, but it gave the impression of a traditional fruity sake. It had flavor and aroma, but it wasn't very good.
I don't think I will buy it again.

I drank it for the first time in a while, but I wonder if the taste has changed. It used to have a strong image of light and dry, but now it has a more modern aroma and a stronger sweetness.
It was very tasty when it was warmed up to room temperature. You can buy it at convenience stores, and I thought it would be good when I don't have anything else to drink.

When drunk cold, it's Niigata's light and dry sake, but when warmed, the rice flavor comes out gradually and it's not flashy or habitual, but it's mildly tasty and good.
Lukewarm is better than hot.

I drank it hot, and it was good, but I don't remember much about it. If I were to drink it hot, it would have been better if it were a little more peculiar.
If it was too hot, the acidity would come out too much, so lukewarm or hot was just right.

The aroma is very strong. I guess that's the selling point, but it didn't suit me.

It has a weak aroma both through the nose and in the mouth, and does not have much umami, but I found myself drinking a lot of sake and getting drunk because I did not get tired of drinking it. I thought it was a good sake, although it did not have any special characteristics that made me drink more sake.
It tasted better when drunk chilled.

The aroma is thin, the taste and aftertaste are sharp.
It might be suitable as a food sake for drinking at home, but my expectations were so high when I heard that it goes well with soy sauce that I thought it would be like this.
I drank it while thinking that it is not good to believe in it, since tastes and expressions differ from person to person.

It was not spectacular. The umami was moderate, and it might have been better if it were heated up, but it was not impressive either cold or at room temperature.

When poured cold in a glass, it has a strong aroma, but when drunk, it has a nice flavor and is very tasty.
Even though it is 80% polished, it has a good aroma and flavor, and is inexpensive, making it a really good sake!
I realized that the sake brewing rice is important, but it is not what determines the flavor.
It is better to drink it cold because the goodness disappears when it is drunk at room temperature.
I will definitely buy this again as a regular at-home drinker.

When I opened the bottle cold, I could understand why the brewer said on YouTube that this sake was an example of a honjozo that made good use of added alcohol.
When I drank it at room temperature the next day, the aroma was nicely rounded out and the taste changed even more to my liking.
It was a sake with a high standard of all the averages that changed my concept of honjozo.

The first sip felt amazing, but as I kept drinking it, the glamour got in the way.
I got bored and couldn't drink a lot of it.
I was drinking it thinking that it would taste even better if the aroma would disappear a little more nicely.
I drank it 3 days after opening the bottle, but the gorgeousness has calmed down and the sweetness has become more pronounced. I guess people who like this sake may like it, but it is not my favorite sake.
The rating after opening the bottle was 60 points.

It was well received but completely disappointing for me. Too flamboyant for me.
