This Ippongi sake is made from Gohyakumangoku (五百万石) rice polished down to 68% (Honjouzo sake has to be milled down to at least 70%), and has a Nihonshudo of +2.5 (so is probably leaning towards the dry side).
It has a light nose and has a soft, pillowy feel in the mouth.
The sake has an interesting Umami (sometimes translated as "pleasant savory taste") flavour, and a slightly chalky powdery feel to it.
This is really drinkable, not too strong an alcohol taste, in fact I couldn't really feel the alcohol at all.
A very good, elegant, refined, quality, drinkable sake.
