The boss of Kinsho-kai bought a rare bottle of Doukan, so I asked him to share it with me.
The first sip.
Oh, is it a little heavy and fruity? Yes, the Doukan was quite heavy in quality.
The sweetness was chocolatey and brandy-like. The fruitiness is apple-like. I honestly thought that the fruitiness of the sake made it difficult to drink. I thought it was difficult to drink.
I tried drinking it again on three separate days.
Surprisingly, the fruitiness was okay. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like cocoa. I think I can also pick up an astringent taste like black tea.
While looking it up on the Internet, I learned that the Ota Sake Brewery also makes wine and brandy. I wondered if the brandy technique is also used in sake.
I got the impression that it is a very drinkable and robust sake. I would like to visit the brewery.

The sweet aroma and softness of the mouthfeel spread at first.
The sweet aroma and softness of the mouth feel at first, and then it is cut off smoothly, leaving no sweetness on the tongue.
It is a very easy-drinking, clear sake,
For me, it is a little lacking, but I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like it.
I think that most first-time sake drinkers will become sake lovers after drinking this sake.
First drink bought at the supermarket
18% alcohol by volume.
Maybe it's because I always drink junmai (pure rice) sake.
It's a raw sake, but it feels dry.
It is light yellow in color and tastes like raisins ^ ^.
I enjoy drinking it.
Very slightly cloudy.
I love the aromas: nutty almonds, grape, green melon, yoghurt. Light, bright, and appealing.
Smooth and thick texture, with an almost salty umami flavour. Medium+ acidity, but a gentle sweetness does linger and leave a pleasing aftertaste.
Rich, and quietly, elegantly powerful.
Finish is on the short side, slightly sweet.
4.5/5
［Description.]
The robust flavor is perfect for in-meal consumption.
It tastes softly of sake in the mouth.
You can hardly feel the alcohol until you swallow it.
I️ buy directly from the brewery.
This winery was an important place in the early days in the Fifty-three Stages of the Tokaido Railway.
Please note that this sake brewery is not open during lunch time.
It is a large and magnificent sake brewery with a wide variety of products. 🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶
The president of the brewery also seemed to like the sake we bought.
Freshness, aroma, and taste are both high quality 钎✨✨✨✨
I also got some sake lees 👌🏻.
The best thing about this house is that it's a great place to live and work.
Mr. Pon.
I'm sorry that I'm always so cameless🐢💦
I️ really liked this brewery too.
I️ also got some sake lees from them as well.
I'd like to thank you for your kindness and support.
It's a good mix of Yamahai. It is more fragrant when heated.
But it is also very light. It can be enjoyed with a lightly seasoned meal without disturbing it.
