It's been a long time since I've had this one.
I was told that it has been restarted and changed a little, but I don't remember enough to compare...
It is a 19% nama sake, so it is a little tough, but the flavor and taste are both moderate and let you drink it slowly.
When warmed up, the raw sake flavor changes to a sweeter aroma, and the acidity settles down.
The flavor gradually increases from the first sip, and although it might be interesting to leave it for a while, I enjoyed it cold this time.
It was served warm.
It had a yellowish, acidic aroma that hit my nose.
It has a strong bitter and sour taste.
Serve with sea bass sashimi.
It complements the sweetness and flavor of the fish.

Transparent with a slight yellowish tinge. It has a mature aroma reminiscent of dried shiitake mushrooms and a scent reminiscent of skim milk. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is sweet and rich. The texture is a little powdery. After a while, a strong acidity spreads. It has a long aftertaste. A mature sake.
A toast from an acquaintance of mine in Aomori, I opened a bottle of "Nanarohei" Special Junmai from Takenami Shuzo, the oldest sake brewery in Tsugaru region.
It's mellow and dry sake.
