Cold: Super dry as advertised.
Good for a mid-meal drink.
It is said to be a "Japanese sword (katana)" made from edible rice for overseas and packaged for the domestic market.
The name is cool. It reminds me of Lupin III and Final Fantasy for my generation. They were the strongest swords that could cut almost anything, and were the object of admiration that tickled boys' hearts.
Room temperature: The aroma is subtle and the taste is pleasant, with a light and gentle sweetness that spreads like water. Although it is a regular sake, it has no peculiarities and is very easy to drink.
Chilled: The dryness becomes stronger.
Warmed: Sourness, sweetness and umami become stronger, but it is easy to drink.
The POP label says it is a "very tasty cheap sake known only to those in the know," and it is true that it is not often seen, and the taste is very agreeable.
