ゆずこん
As before, this sake was obtained at a supermarket support price. It has a nice aroma as if it were pure rice, and when it enters the mouth, it has a moderate fruity taste and a very nice lightness on the palate. It is too good to be cheap and delicious.

ゆずこん
The fruity aroma spreads in the mouth, but it quickly changes to a strong dry taste as it passes down the throat. It goes well not only with Japanese food, but also with rich meat and Western food.

ゆずこん
I remember the first time I drank this sake when I was young and thought it was delicious. Drinking it again now, the aroma is gorgeous, as is typical of junmai, but the taste is surprisingly sharp and smooth, slightly different from the image I had of junmai. Is that what "mizu-no-shi" means?

ゆずこん
The fruity aroma and sweetness of junmai can be felt immediately, yet it has a sharpness when it goes down the throat as it is labeled as dry. However, the sweetness is stronger overall.

ゆずこん
It is soft on the palate, with a slight fruity taste like Junmai, but when served with Japanese food, the sharpness becomes noticeable and I enjoyed the change. It is easy to drink as it does not smell of alcohol.

ゆずこん
It has a great muscat-like fruity taste! It's 17% alcohol so it's delicious but be careful not to drink too much.

ゆずこん
As the name "light" implies, it is refreshing, and as the name "soft" implies, it is very easy to drink without any peculiarities or sharpness. It was too clean and did not seem like a Junmai sake, for better or for worse.

ゆずこん
It has the flavor of Junmai, but as the name suggests, it is dry and moderately sharp. Although it is junmai, the smell of alcohol is rather perceptible.

ゆずこん
The moment I drank it, I was surprised by the acidity. There was almost no sense of sake; it was like a white wine. However, when you taste it carefully, you will realize that the sake aroma is strong and the acidity is not fruity but that of rice. The low alcohol content makes it very easy to drink.

ゆずこん
Both the alcohol and rice taste are strong. It is indeed a strong sake. If you have a summer heat stroke, it may take away your energy, but if you are in good physical condition, it is a good sake. It is also good for sake cocktails.

ゆずこん
I tried a variety of fruity and dry summer sakes at a liquor store's summer sake tasting, and I thought this one was very average and moderately characteristic of summer sake.

ゆずこん
I saw it at Bic Camera and was worried because it was a little expensive, but there was a small size so I bought it to try it out. As soon as I poured it into a sake cup, it had a nice aroma. It did not have the acidity and sweetness of Junmai, and was very refreshing. It is very refreshing, but has an aromatic and elegant taste, which is quite good. I would definitely like to buy it in a 4-ounce bottle next time.
