This Sake starts with a smooth sweetness then changes to a spicy, dry finish. The mouth feel is big and juicy. It has the flavor of a sweet juicy grape with a hint of cedar at the finish. A very complex and enjoyable Sake from Moka, Tochigi.
Tsuji Zenbei that my family bought me as a souvenir from Nikko.
It had a fruity feeling in the mouth and a strong alcoholic taste when drinking, it was delicious!

It's daytime sake and sushi on the road 🤤.
Blissful moment ✨
This is the second sake I drank out of the comparison set, a local sake from Tochigi, where I was traveling.
Tochigi has a lot of fruity umaguchi that I like, but this was a first for me. And it also tastes like your favorite ☺️💕.
The aroma, sweetness is soft and fluffy, but light and refreshing. Not so much bitterness or sourness, but it's refreshing in the mouth at the end.
It is served with boiled yuba from Nikko.
I compared it with Jyushidai, and it is as good as Jyushidai.
The Jyushiyo is mellow, but this one has a light, refreshing taste.
I'm going to buy some next time.
