It is soft and tasty.
I tried it at room temperature, but since it is a Junmai Daiginjo, it tastes better when it is slightly chilled. It has a classic taste, with a strong sense of umami and richness. The fact that the ginjo aroma is not overdone may make it easier to taste the umami without any cloying taste. After opening the bottle, the taste is gradually increasing.
Gold leaf came as a bonus with the purchase of the bottle. It must be gorgeous if you sprinkle it on a glass. (I can't do it because I feel like it would be a waste.)
The taste is like an autumn harvest, with a fullness and umami that can be felt well. It is smooth, yet the stimulation felt on the tongue may be spicy. Personally, I think it is better at room temperature than heated.
It also has a ginjo aroma (an isoamyl acetate type banana aroma when warmed), so it is delicious even when chilled.
It is dry and crisp. Personally, I found it most delicious at room temperature, but since that is a matter of taste, heating it up is also highly recommended.
It has a definite raw sake feel, a natural gasiness and acidity, and is firm, sweet, and easy to drink like juice. The ginjo aroma was subtle, and the aftertaste, perhaps from the wine yeast, was like that of white wine itself.
On a hot day, it can be drunk as much as you want when chilled and served in a wine glass.
It is said to have appeared in the manga "Kami no Shizuku," in which it is described as "a gem of a sake that is both a sake and a wine. Sake drinkers may feel it is like white wine, while wine drinkers may feel it is like sake.
It is very tasty, with a thick, full-bodied flavor and umami, just like cold oroshi.
Personally, I enjoyed it best at room temperature to lukewarm, and it was at room temperature that I felt its richness. When chilled, the flavor was a bit pungent, and after a short time back at room temperature, the flavor seemed to open up.
Since this is more of a classic sake, the moderate aroma did not interfere with the flavor, and I enjoyed the cold sake.
I will definitely buy this sake again next year.

It has a simple taste and is a benchmark when considering the taste of junmai ginjo sake.
