Hi Jay & Nobby!
I thought it was very fruity from the CWS label, but I loved the umami flavor as well 😂.
It's interesting that they release a limited edition with different sake rice and brewing each month 👀.
Bought it because there was a Hokuriku sake event at LUCUA in August.
I'm a sucker for the word "limited edition" 😂.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it in the same bottle as the other two.
