Review of Daina Junmai Ginjo "Nasu Gohyakumangoku"

"When opened, the aroma is mild and not very noticeable. When poured into a glass, it seems to have a slight color. When you put it in your mouth, the deliciousness of the rice comes along with a gentle sweetness. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, which is delicious. I had it chilled, but since it is not a rich flavor, it is easy to drink and goes down smoothly." (Moman/30s)

"When I think of Daina, I think of this sake. It is made using Gohyakumangoku rice from Tochigi Prefecture. It would go well with any dish. It's a great sake to have with a meal."(Man/50s)
