This Junmaishu sake from Zuiyou Brewery has a nihonshudo of +5 so should be fairly dry and is made from a selection of rice including "Reihou" レイホウ, and is polished to 65%.

It's a clear sake with a very light and subtle nose.

Smooth and fresh but with quite an unusual taste. No real alcohol taste and not like a standard sake.

I've tasted something like this before but I can't place it. Not like a sake, veering more towards an expensive frozen vodka kind of taste.

A little dry but not overpoweringly so.

I had this on the rocks, and it was very drinkable.
