This is a Sado sake that is being talked about on the Gold Master group line. Kitasetsu Shuzo is a well-known sake brewery, but this Leon is a recently released sake, and the specifications are undisclosed, except for the alcohol content and the rice used. This is the kind of sake that will be on at least one of the Kintatsu exams. Well, first of all, we don't know if it is Junmai-ka (Junmai family) sake or not. But the gentle aroma of this yeast makes me think it is junmai sake. The color is a general light coloring, and the taste is strongly acidic at first. There is little bitterness and spiciness, but it is not sweet. I think it has a spiciness of about +5. The rice used is 100% Yamada-Nishiki, which gives the sake a strong umami component (tasting at room temperature). It is a refreshing summer sake.
