たけさん
A little showy for a rice wine. I don't think it's a raw sake, but it is slightly effervescent and has a modern fruity taste. There is no unpleasant Yamahai sensation, and if you weren't told about it, you would think it was a draft sake, but it's not what you expect! There are plenty of other sake like this, even if they are not tazake.

たけさん
It has a good balance of umami, sharpness, and acidity typical of Shiga sake, with just the right amount of rawness. It has a delicious taste but is not too heavy, has a beautiful finish, and can be enjoyed for a long time. It is not unique, but it is a sake that everyone will like. It seems to go well with all kinds of food.

Although it is called junmai ginjo, the aroma is subdued and the flavor is full of slightly matured flavor. It does not taste like Fujin Raijin. It has a long, pungent aftertaste, but it is not acidic, and the taste is very crisp. It seems to go well with simmered dishes rather than sashimi.

It says on the label that it's junmai heated sake, but it was served cold (because that's how it was served at the restaurant). It's dry and delicious, but now that I've seen the label, I'd rather drink it warmed! ⭐︎3
