The aroma has a strong alcohol stimulation.
On the contrary, the taste in the mouth is not harsh, but the flavor and umami are not so good, and the body seems thin.
The sweetness and gorgeousness come later, so it is not just light.

Not much sake, strong sweet aroma.
The texture is light and smooth, with a strong sweetness first, followed by a bitter aftertaste.
However, it is easy to get tired of drinking it due to the lack of umami and the strong sweetness.
As time passes after opening the bottle, the sweetness becomes less pronounced and the sake and alcohol sensations are felt, changing the balance.

Tamanohikari純米大吟醸 備前雄町 100%
qansah
The aroma is slightly gorgeous, and in the mouth it has a sweetness, but also acidity, bitterness, and alcohol. There is a lingering aftertaste after swallowing, but it is not unpleasant, and I think it is a good sake.
Personally, I thought it would be easier to imagine it if it were called "the sake" with a refined taste and accented with omachi.
