From 霧筑波 大吟醸 -霧筑波 official site-

I felt that this sake, deliberately diluted with high-quality brewing alcohol, shares a potential similar to premium Junmai Daiginjo sakes such as Dassai, Jikon, Tatenokawa, and Juyondai. Upon sipping, it retains the refined sweetness characteristic of Junmai Daiginjo, yet it's not overly sweet and manages to strike a balance without overpowering individuality. There's a determined effort to avoid lingering in the throat and nasal passages... a kind of endearing sincerity. Indeed, it doesn't interfere with the flavors of food. However, it left me with a sense that it possesses the capability to truly satisfy the drinker. Interestingly. Upon investigation, I found that this 'Kiritsukuba Daiginjo' is priced higher than the 'Kiritsukuba Junmai Daiginjo' from the same brand. It is interesting.

Exactly, that's it. It's like a Daiginjo wearing the skin of a Junmai Daiginjo. Yeah, it's really easy to drink.
