Rika RICA Junmai Ginjo.
What a surprise, it is a Junmai Ginjo-shu for 700 yen including tax. Purchased at the Apita Kameda store in Niigata Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is an ambitious 58%, and the sake is from Fukui Prefecture. The detailed specifications are completely unknown. The aroma is sweet, and the taste is typical sweet sake, or rather, an unctuous sake. It is too lively and messy, and I would much rather drink a one-cup Ozeki. It is a shocking sake that I left more than half of it for the first time in a long time.
