I was attracted by the package, but when I drank it, I found it to be a very tasty sake with a good amount of gassiness, a tangy sourness followed by a spiciness and sharpness, and a fruity sweetness like pear on the finish.
The tingling sensation is unusual and unique, and I think I will become addicted to it.
Risshun Asa Shibori, sent every year by a friend in Yamagata, arrived on 2/4 and we had it on 2/8. I'm a little late, but I'm registering now 😓.
It has a melon flavor from the tangy and dry taste, a lingering spiciness in the back of the throat, and lemon and grapefruit at the end. I enjoyed it for about a week. This year's is delicious 🤤.
The entrée was delicious with crumb cheese, yellowtail, swordfish, and bonito sashimi that we got from Taiwan.

I bought it because they were bottling it at the event site 😏 It's a keg of sake sold by weight at Sandesi 🤗.
I put it in my bag and when I got home, the label became henna-henna. I'm going to peel it off and store it, so oh well 🆗.
After drinking a bit, I realized I didn't take a picture and rushed to take one 😅.
It's sake 🍶.
The scent of cedar has soaked in well 🌲.
I must have let it sit for 3-4 days 🤔.
It has a clean, thin sweetness and a clear throat 😙.
This kind of dry barrel sake goes well with a variety of dishes 😊.
The brewer came to the Hanshin Department Store in Nishinomiya and we tasted and bought a variety. It was hard to narrow it down to one bottle since I had a tasting event coming up 💦.
According to the brewer, the sake is usually watered down, but this time it was unfiltered, raw and unpasteurized.
Fruity, juicy, sweet and delicious. A little gassy. I like the lingering sourness at the end.
And dry at the end.
Maybe the best Oyama sake I've ever had 🤔.
