Memorandum Omitted as I don't remember the taste.
The popup in the store said they did not dare to disclose the details.
I got the impression that it was quite sweet.

Nabeshima was not my favorite when I first drank it about 10 years ago, but I enjoyed it.
At BARIKIYA, Gakugei Daigaku Station
It is a blend of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo, so they say it is an extra.
It is clean, clear, and crisp as per the specs. Almost no sweetness.
Pairing with white fish sashimi was a no-brainer.

The wine is quite sweet and fruity when opened, but after a few days, the sweetness on the palate quickly fades and the flavor is gone. The sweetness on the palate itself is also subdued, and I personally prefer it a little later in the day.

Juicy apple flavor. It has acidity, but sweetness is stronger. Best to drink by itself. It is good to drink by itself.

When drunk chilled, it is dry with little character, but as the temperature rises, it has a rich soft umami flavor. A slight bitterness comes later. It has a classical sake quality.
Purchased at Yoshida Sake Brewery direct from the brewery
Excellent balance of sweetness and flavor.
The juiciness of the Muscat is exquisite and does not interfere with the meal.

The seasonal product could not be released for two seasons due to the earthquake and the harvest (I vaguely remember), so this is a limited edition spec for 2024 (according to the store staff).
It tastes dry and crisp after opening.
After a couple of days, it loses some of its edge, but still has the freshness of nigori, and goes well with Japanese food in general.
At Soba Riri, Sangenjaya
Junmai-like firmness, but with a low alcohol content of 13%, it has a refreshing feeling that is typical of Masamune.
It can be served with Japanese food, both light and strong flavors.
At Soba Riri, Sangenjaya
Fruity mouthfeel but with a firmness that is typical of Sakusaku.
It is not so easy to convince people that the rice is polished to 60%.
It can be served either as a mealtime drink or on its own.
