Aged 28 BY. The color is amber, similar to hojicha. The taste is quite matured and has lost its corners. It has a very good umami taste, which is similar to that of Shaoxing sake, and it is really delicious when heated. The lactic acidity is not so strong.

This is my first time drinking Asahi Sake Brewery!
It's a very cute bottle and one I was interested in last year 🥹🩷.
There are some pickles pickled in a bed of rice bran bought for 100 yen 🥒🍆.
↑upI like the sound of "nuka-zuke".
I don't like it that much, but... 🤣𐤔
Now, let's start with cold sake as usual 🍶´-
I thought I didn't like pickles.
This time it was salty and delicious ︎︎👍

Ripe sake aroma, woody and vanilla-like.
When you drink it, it has a full rice flavor with acidity,
The taste of rice is very strong.
It has a dry taste with a strong pungency of alcohol.
The finish is surprisingly quick after passing through the nose.
I ordered it with meat pâté with Iburi Goko, and it was a nice combination.
Not too much, not too little.

Juicy and fresh, but
Pear, loquat, banana, and a sense of maturity like mirin in the back.
I was served it with a melon called "banana makwari" and it was great combined with the ginjo aroma.
I enjoyed the difference between the circular, hokuhokku taste and the feel of the cooled glass.
I bought the bottle just for the cat's cuteness, but it had a rich umami taste that is typical of junmai sake.
I heard it also helps cats, so it kills two birds with one stone.
Next time, I'll have to buy a canine as well.
