I would like to drink this when it is bare.
One Friday night. The last drink after drinking a lot.
I️ only remember my impression of the combination of umami, sweetness, depth, and this and that.
After leaving the restaurant, we went to a certain snack bar in Nakasu 😅....

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
