I drank it on two separate days, and both the first and second days had a melon-like taste. The balance between drinkability and intensity of flavor is good. It also has a strong Daiginjo-like aroma. There is a little bit of sake lingering in the mouth, but it is not unpleasant. It is only wholesaled twice a year, so if I happen to come across it again in half a year, I will buy it.

It is rather dark. It's like a peach or mango. The rice and alcohol spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole body. I bought this when I saw the title "Masterpiece" on the bottle. I think most sake like this are light and refreshing, but this one feels rather full-bodied, but without any peculiarities, and it goes well with sake. I have recently grown to like sake that makes me want to say "ku-ku" or "kah-ku" after drinking it, but this was a good transitional sake that I could get into. I heard that it is a set of A-Un, so next time I will try the A-Un one.

My first Kyoto sake. I chose Sawaya-Matsumoto's Mori-ba-ri Gohyakumangoku, which I had been curious about. I opened the bottle with a splash. The aroma was slightly citrusy. One sip and it was delicious 😋. It has a chili-like flavor, with an elegant sweetness and a refreshing taste. It seems to go well with Japanese food. It exceeded my expectations and the price was reasonable.
