At the beginning, I got a really faint schwirl and a really faint ginjo aroma, so I thought, "Oh, that's the way," but to my surprise, this sake stays there! This is a new sensation. After that, it's a little bit light and a little bit umami, and it seems to go well with anything other than a thicker drink. I like this kind of change of pace every once in a while.

Sweet! Hayaseura has the image of being refreshing, for better or worse, but this one is sweet! It has a strong umami (flavor), but it is like a sugar water on top of the umami all the time, and this sweetness is a distraction. I wondered why it was so sweet, and it turns out that Sakahomare is sake rice made for daiginjo. As someone who does not like daiginjo, this was a surprise that did not make me happy at all. Hayaseura is not only expensive, but also very disappointing...

I had never seen this sake before, but I thought it was from Saitama. I have rarely had sake from Saitama, but this is a well-balanced, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is not too rich, not too aromatic, not too peculiar, and not too distinctive, but it is safe to drink. I like the taste, but there is nothing memorable about it.
