Refreshing, refreshing and fresh.
The mid-palate is delicious, but the finish is quite light.
Easy to drink with no peculiarities, but also fruity, ideal as a food wine, and recommended for all people.

This is the second Imi following the Special Junmai, a low-polished BLACK that seems to have been produced for the first time in 10 years!
The special junmai was quite sweet, but the sweetness was much more restrained compared to the special junmai.
In other words, it is a light sweet sake.
The sweet and juicy flavor of the deepest type is somewhat reminiscent of the sweet and juicy flavor of the "Bi", and it can be asserted without being too prominent in a meal.
It doesn't have the complexity of a low-polished rice.
I prefer it to Tokusyu Junmai.

Slightly strong umami, leaving a firm aftertaste but without any peculiarities.
Not much Daiginjo-ness, but the overall balance is good.
When the temperature rises, the sweetness becomes much stronger.

Kararu!
Well-balanced sweetness, umami, and acidity, but with a strong acidity that is refreshing, just like a spring sake.
A little sweetness remains at the end, and the aftertaste is rather long.
Although it is sweet, it can be drunk smoothly all the time.

The nose is clear from start to finish, but as is typical of spring sake, there is a gorgeous aroma that lingers on the nose.
The taste is not very spring-like, and there is almost no sweetness in particular.
Excellent as a food sake

Clear from beginning to end.
It seems to be a silver plate, but it has almost no spring sake-like character.

Well-balanced, unctuous, sweet and delicious.
Fresh and light on the palate, with a mellow, mellow flavor from the oak barrels.
It seems to be easy to match with any meal.

The fragrance gives off a beautiful, sweet, lovely feeling. It is just perfect for this time of year!
In the mouth, it is dense, sweet and delicious.
However, it has a light body and a light aftertaste.
It is easy to drink and can be enjoyed by everyone, while fully expressing Aizan's character.
The freshness of the directly pumped water is just the right amount of delightful!
I feel it is very sophisticated as a drink.

Light and dry, with sweetness at the beginning and mellowness in the middle, typical of Junmai Ginjo.
The mellowness is a little peculiar.
If you can drink it at this price, it's good enough.

The sweetness is quite strong and the umami is moderate considering the sweetness.
Compared to other sweet and juicy sake, it has a lightness and a smooth aftertaste (plus a light bitterness) that makes the sake go down smoothly.
The best Nabeshima sake ever!

Delicious as ever!
It starts with a firm sweetness reminiscent of melon, but the back palate is light, leaving only a pleasant umami taste.
This is a sake full of character, worthy of being the flagship of Kaze no Mori!
It is also very cost-effective. If there is only one sake left in the world, this is the only one!

Pleasant acidity typical of Yamahai
The astringent bitterness that can be said to be the symbol of Den-emon can be felt without being unpleasant.

Well-balanced, easy to drink and pleasant to drink.
The sweetness and umami are well balanced, but the acidity is less pronounced than in Mie Yamadanishiki Nama.
The taste is fleeting, disappearing quickly in the aftertaste.
Wanashi-like character.
To be honest, it does not have much character.
The Mie Yamadanishiki has opened up considerably over the course of the day, so I would expect this one to do the same.
As expected, it opened well, so I'll revise it.
Which one is better is too much a matter of taste, but I personally prefer the Mie Yamadanishiki raw, so I'll give it this rating.
Comparison.
The sweetness is a little more refined.
The difference between the raw and the hi-iru is probably the difference, but it is gentle, calm, and light.
Almost no bitterness or other elements other than sweetness and acidity.

Classical from the aroma
There is a lot of miscellaneous flavors, which is far from my personal taste.
I didn't know there was such a Junmai Daiginjo.

Light at first, but the mellow, robust flavor typical of Omachi opens up on the tongue.
It is very drinkable, even for a Daiginjo.
The aftertaste is also crisp and clean.
It is a lie to say that it tastes good in a wine glass (see photo).

A light sweet wine that goes down smoothly and without any cloying flavors.
Well-balanced sweetness and acidity, very refined.
However, it is so light that if you are not careful, you may swallow it without feeling it.
The back palate has a slight bitterness that is typical of Jikin, along with a pleasantly intense umami flavor.
Delicious, but not impressive. Personally, I prefer the special junmai (special?).
The next day, it is still light throughout, but juiciness has appeared.
Balance is still the best!
After another week, it has settled down but still has an impressive sweetness, and it has come out well. Rating revised upward.

The aroma gives it a mellow sweet taste, and the flavor is just as I imagined it would be.
The sweetness and umami are like biting into a honey apple, with a slight sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste.
Similar to the Imi, but the sweetness is more dense and the bitterness is less pronounced, making it lighter on the palate, and the overall taste is cleaner.
