Although the rice is polished to 45%, it does not have the spiciness of a rice polishing rate game, and brings out the best of the Yamada Nishiki. The attack is moderately crisp and naturally leads to the next mellow umami, and a peach-like aroma lingers at the end. As long as it is refrigerated, it can be enjoyed even after a week. This is a bit of an expensive series for daily use, but it's the kind of reassuring quality that will get you here in the end.
It is reasonably priced in the low 1,000 yen range, despite the luxury of 55% polished rice and special junmai.
When drunk cold, it has a refreshing taste with little miscellaneous flavors and a crisp, clean finish.
The taste is understated and will go well with any kind of food, but it also has a certain punchiness and depth when drunk by itself.
It is very fruity, so it is best to drink it cold, as recommended by the brewery. It has a gentle taste that explains its catchphrase "sake that goes well with a glass of wine".
It is a rare sake that uses rice produced in Ehime called Shizukuhime, but it is probably rather famous in the local area because it has won awards and has been used in ANA international first class.
