Purchased at a liquor store (Sake no Kandaya) in Hirakata for the New Year's holiday. I had wanted to drink it for a long time. It is a freshly squeezed junmai ginjo. I am sure this is the best one. We had it on New Year's Eve with New Year's soba noodles and sushi.
My expectations were too high and I felt a little betrayed, but the fruity aroma intrigued me and it was very easy to drink. If I had wanted more, I would have liked a little more sweetness.
But this sake is super cosy at about 2,700 yen. Sake is so expensive nowadays, isn't it?
And I liked this store. The manager was very friendly and affable. They had a wide selection of wines. I got a stamp card and will definitely go here again next time.
