For the record. Anniversary 2) The description said it has a sweet, mellow, mature aroma and a rich, mellow flavor that matches rich, rich food. It had been stored in the refrigerator for more than two years because I did not know when to open the bottle. I tasted it after dinner this day. It was like a dessert wine.

Ichinozakura Madena - Dark Mellow Long Aged Sake
On this day, more and more strange sakes were served. Boxed, a dark color that one would not expect from sake!
A rare aged sake purchased as a souvenir from a trip to Sendai.
A first in the sake industry
Sake heated and matured with hot spring heat
Concentrated fermented long-aged sake
A sake with a completely new aroma, produced by applying the "fortification" and "heat-aging" methods of Madeira wine, one of the world's three major fortified wines. The heat from the hot springs of Naruko Onsen in Osaki City is used for heating and aging. The clear amber color, rich caramel-like aroma, and rich sweetness blend together to create a special sake.
The 16th drink. Ichinozo.
How many years has it been since I drank Ichinozo?
I have drunk sparkling and Himezen before, though.
This one was a sweet, dark one, aged at a high temperature. However, it was not too sweet and not too bitter, and I liked it the best among the three in the picture.
Purchased at Naruko Onsen.
It is an unusual one, aged in the warmth of Naruko Onsen.
The amber color combined with the sweetness and aroma like plum wine is unique and interesting.
It is served with cheese and fruits.

...it has a habit! LOL!
It has a caramelized taste, like a dessert.
It goes well with the cheese I had with it.
The color is like caramel, and the weight is very heavy.
It might be for different people, but I don't dislike it.
However, it might be too heavy for one person.
