Speaking of Hayaseura, I really liked it the first time I saw it, but after that, every time I saw it, I thought it was a little too much and said, "It's not what I expected...! I had been avoiding Hayaseura for a while, but then I found a basic junmai that I had never had before, so I asked for it. I like this one! It is my favorite type of food sake. It is elegant, mellow and reserved as if it were an akiagari, but it has a core strength that tells you "that's not right" when you get it wrong. If Kaygetsu is like Kenshiro, this is like Toki. If Kaygetsu is like Kenshiro, this is like Toki. It is a wonderful food sake that is the twin of Kaygetsu in the mildly umami category.

Although it is a summer sake, the acidity and sweetness are moderate and clean, probably because it is a honjozo. Although it has a high alcohol content, it does not have a raw or unpasteurized taste, and is dry and refreshing with just the right amount of umami. There is no particular taste that I would say is bad or good. It is a sake like a gym, where "the lack of individuality is the individuality".

It has a hard taste with a firm pungency and a good straight flavor, but it has a unique aroma after you put it in your mouth. It has a unique aroma in the mouth. The aroma lingers until the end. It is a masculine sake that is unique but not glamorous, and I would even call it simple. I wonder if this sake's partner would be arame or mezame.
