A sweet junmai sake with the chewy rice sweetness of Hatsushimo.
It was easy to drink but did not taste that great.
Conversely, it may be a sake that goes well with a variety of dishes.

It was served hot.
Because it was hot, it had a sweetness to it, but at the same time, it was a cup of sake that felt like sake.
When it comes to aged sake, Daruma Masamune is the most popular type of sake.
Shiraki Tsunesuke Shoten has been making mainly aged sake since the 1960s 🍶.
Shigeri Shiraki, aka Samantha, is the 7th generation brewer. I've seen your instagram often, but this is the first time I've met you. ☺️
Jyunen Koshu is a blend of sake that has been aged for more than 10 years.
His husband and toji, Hisashi Shiraki, is one of the few sake blenders I know of.
The appearance is deep amber and brown.
I have never seen such a color expression in sake before!
The aroma is soft yet complex with a mature aroma.
Clove, cinnamon, cypress, mead, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, caramel, walnuts, etc... All the elements of matured aroma are mixed together with a gentle sweet aroma and a hint of acidity.
The taste is soft and mellow.
The sweetness is intense and strong, with a touch of molasses, and the acidity spreads from there in a rich, gentle and complex way.
There are nuances of Shaoxing sake, but it has no corners, and the richness and full flavor of the rice gives it the quality of aged Japanese sake.
The lingering aftertaste is long, thin, and string-like.
I am grateful that they did their best to revive aged sake, which at one time was almost lost due to the Sake Tax Law.
I hope that aged sake will spread as one of the wonderful cultures of sake 🍶.
Hi Aladdin. I see you got to meet Samantha 😳 Too jealous! I definitely want to meet her someday! I also want next year's zodiac label. But I'm slightly afraid of snake tongues so I haven't gotten it 😓.
Hi Hirupeco, good evening 😃.
Samantha, you really are as vivacious as I thought you would be and it was a pleasure to meet you😊.
I actually met her that day in the form of after I bought the Year of the Snake blend, so I told her about the zodiac blend 🐍🍶☺️
The ninth cup was a sweet Junmai from Daruma Masamune, which I was personally curious about!
Aroma like caramel and caramel.
The mild, sweet, astringent and savory flavor is like caramel pudding 🍮.
Sake made by adding the fourth stage of koji amazake and the fifth stage of sake mother to the regular three-stage brewing process for Daruma Masamune's old sake.
Sake degree -25, acidity 3
Slightly sweet, sweet and sour taste can be expected.
Although it is only six months old, the aroma is a little mature.
Grain, caramel and honey sweetness.
The taste is quite rich and sweet.
It has a thick texture, almost syrupy.
A bit of grain complexity and a bit of acidity accentuate the sweetness, but it is not monotonous.
Delicious!
A classic sweet sake, which is a bit rare nowadays.
If you like sweet sake, you must try this one!
Daruma Masamune Limited edition junmai sake with a five-step brewing process.
The last bottle at the liquor store where I always stop by.
It was not in my plan,
I bought it without a second thought.
It is sweet and sour and delicious. ❤️
As the days go by, the sweet and sourness
The sweet and sourness comes out more as the days go by.
