Kokuryu Ishidaya (흑룡 이시다야)

“The initial aroma carries notes of melon and banana. Upon tasting, a smooth, mellow mouthfeel devoid of any harshness gives way to a delicate sweetness. Savor the contrast between its deep umami and crisp acidity, leading to a clean, sharp finish. Its artistic balance makes you want to linger forever in this blissful aftertaste – truly exceptional flavor!!”

“The aftertaste is so refreshing that it is hard to imagine from the sweetness and gorgeousness that leaves your nose the moment you put it in your mouth. The taste of rice is also evident, but there is no odor. I have never had sake like this.”

“It has a speedy expansion and broadening, but at the same time it has a soft and delicate texture that softly envelops the entire palate, and as it moves deeper into the mouth, the acidity that gradually emerges covers the entire mouth. It is as if it has created a state of extreme resistance, but here again, the balance between the relative senses of strength and gentleness is exquisite and pleasing. The broad and deep aftertaste seems to last forever, and one senses warmth in a very dignified manner.”
