Purchased after being told to be careful when opening the bottle as it is fire-extinguished but fizzy.
The subtle sweetness reminds me of the taste of rice!
The taste is not blurred even when combined with soy sauce, which is essential for sashimi, making it a perfect sake for a meal.

The brewery was established by Naohiko Noguchi, nicknamed the "God of Sake Brewing," as the culmination of more than 70 years of sake brewing. The aroma is fresh and sweet, with a hint of green melon and lily flower. The friendly, gentle and soft mouthfeel is enhanced by the fruity flavor from the mid-palate, and the acidic aftertaste provides a long, enjoyable aftertaste.
I wanted to drink it after watching the documentary film "NOGUCHI - God of Sake Brewing" on Netflix, which closely follows the sake brewing process of Naohiko Noguchi!

Founded in 1922 in Minamiuonuma, Niigata. With abundant water and carefully selected sake rice from a region with heavy snowfall, the company has continued to make top-quality sake with the utmost care and attention to human needs. Taking advantage of the natural power of this region, which has one of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan, the sake is matured for eight years in the "snow chamber," a low-temperature storage cellar filled with 1,000 tons of snow. The sake is aged at a low temperature of around 3 degrees Celsius for a long period of time to preserve its light flavor and smooth, elegant taste.

A lucky sake pressed on the first day of spring
The toji's skill is demonstrated when he decides to finish pressing on the day of Risshun and needs to make subtle adjustments, paying attention to the environment and the finished product.

The fruity flavor is superb!
