  This is from their "standard i.e. lowest" Kamisen range, retails for about 800yen in Japan.

    I think they chose to go with the text in the OP vs your version. Wouldn't sell very well otherwise I would think, but I'm no marketeer.

  I've had one before and found it on a "terrible" side.
  I am no Sake pro, but it seems that anything decent starts from around $40/bottle.

  Happy to be proven wrong.

    If you like your sake on the dry side…
    Buy the 14 litre cask from here. (About $140 + $12 delivery last time)
    https://sun-masamune.com.au/go-shu-sake/

    I've been through several and find it quite good.
    I personally do not like their GoShu Blue, which is their most common one.
    But all the rest are good but more expensive.

    I just email the guy cause their website seems to hardly ever work right.

    (And/or go there for a tour if you are passing Penrith someday and the lockdown ever finishes)

        Really? how so? This Sake is a bit more on the sweet side, and relatively smooth. Are you a dry sake kind of person?

          @zeomega: I didn't think it was smooth, nor sweet. I am terrible at explaining the taste but it's as if it was trying to be on a "citrus" side of things but it didn't quite hit it.
