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.
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.
My first impression is that it is a bit thin.
I guess it is for sightseeing.
It is not habitual and does not leave any aftertaste, so you can drink it with anything at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I bought this at the souvenir shop at Seibu-Chichibu station.
It is slightly sweet, has no habits, and is easy to drink. Since I drank it at the inn, the taste may have been compensated for that....
I bought this at Tobu World Square as a souvenir of my trip to Kinugawa. It seems to be an original package of the facility. It is rather ordinary, or there is no special feature to it, but it is easy to drink, so I thought it would be good for everyday evening drinking. You have to go there to buy it...
