This brewery is located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto.
The fruity aroma and rich mouthfeel are well balanced.
The balance between the fruity aroma and the mellow mouthfeel is good.

Special Junmai, Ancient Capital by Sasaki Shuzo in Kyoto.
It has a clean mouthfeel and a deep flavor. Delicious. With Wakatake (bamboo shoot) stew by Akagakiya. Delicious.
Purchased at Cardi's. It was sold at room temperature, so I drank it at room temperature. It has a refreshing taste and a slight sweetness, which disappears after a while. It is delicious.
The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery.
It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.
Ao, good evening 😃
You've seen me somewhere, right? 🤣
It's 25 degrees so it's pretty gruesome even with soda 😅Who is that? Looks like a game character 🤔
Aged for 8 years at the brewery. The first impression of the smell becomes more and more addictive the more you drink it.
(Postscript) Three days after opening the bottle, the initial roughness is gone and it becomes mellower and mellower. It has a firm taste. Delicious.
The cacao feeling is enhanced.
The image of Sasaki Brewery has changed drastically.

The well-known Sasaki Sake Brewery!
I bought this when I went on a short trip to Kyoto.
I was a bit prejudiced and thought it would be more refreshing, but it was a bit thicker, which I personally like!
It was delicious!
