Fruity and sweet, this sake is easy to drink without any sticking points.
I was surprised that such a sake existed. It was so good, I bought some to take home!
Twice a year? I think it was a special series.
I think I buy this every time.
It's 30%/90%, but the rice flavor is very strong, and it's very fresh compared to other otters.
The bottle is unique, and it would be a stylish gift for a sake lover.

I went to Mitsukoshimae to see the play "A Peculiar Person..." by Emon Kawatani of Gesu no Kyokkoku Otto.
Mitsukoshimae is the place of memories where the underground walkway was constructed.
And a sake lover's wonderland
Hasegawa Sake Shop was there.
We had some time to kill before the show started, so we grabbed some sake...
My wife said it must be good...
The last bottle... we didn't have much time left before the show...
If I hadn't headed there after the show, I wouldn't have had a chance.
I headed over there... and there it was!
Let's see what it's like...
I thought it would be ‼️ mellow ❗️ spicy
The gentle sweetness disappears without a hitch
A delicious sake 🍶 that doesn't interfere with the food.
It was great 😀.
This is probably my first Mimuro Cedar. It is recommended to be refrigerated, but not chilled, and I would like to cool it down, if not to the temperature of a kettle. The aroma and taste are soft, and as the label says, the sharpness is not unpleasant.
The sake is rated at +6, but it doesn't really feel like it.
It's mellow and pear-like at first, but has a slight hiyaoroshi-like thickness. It's not as strong as the nama-shu, but it's tingling all the way through, and you can taste the acidity at the end of the drink.
It is a Junmai Ginjo-shu made from "Yamadaho", which is only available once a year. Yamadaho is the mother of Yamadanishiki.
At first, it has a freshness like Isshaku Suisei, but it has a thicker umami impression than the others in the series.
I drank a can of it yesterday, and I can't believe it's the same alcohol.
Cool and sweet. It has a refreshing impression with its acidity, but it also has a sweetness that is present. That sweetness is not heavy, but it is firmly entwined with the tongue. There is a bitter aftertaste. Personally, I thought it was very Aizan-like.
Dry with a cool impression. It is sharp and has a sweet atmosphere on the palate, although there is no stretch to the sweetness. It also has acidity, making it a clear or neutral sake. The rice used, Hitanishiki, is a rice suitable for sake brewing, and it seems to give a clear and clean taste.
The smell of alcohol, which is typical of honjozo, is clear. The mouthfeel is sweet with a good amount of sourness and bitterness. The sharpness is very good and goes well with meals.
An alternative sake brewed with hops. It does not have a strong beer-like taste, but its somewhat subdued sweetness and light bitterness in the aftertaste make it seem like a beer. However, the taste is still within the sake category, giving the impression of a clean junmai sake. It also has a light acidity and a bubbly taste.
If I were to compare it to beer, I would say it is similar to white beer. On the liquor store's website, lychee and grapefruit were mentioned. I think I can understand that.
