Smells like caramel, baked apples, ripe.
Yellowish liquid. Taste of caramel and a bit of sweetness and acidity. I opened the bottle as soon as I bought it, but the shipment was a year ago.
Purchased at a liquor store.
Rare. Special dealers are listed on the brewer's website.
Cold sake.
It has a sharp aroma.
It has a good balance of acidity and a good umami flavor while being somewhat sharp.
Unlike the Doukan of the same brewery, which I drank before, it is more modern.
The aftertaste is rather long.
It is recommended to drink with not so rich food.
Suitable for intermediate level sake drinkers.

The brewery of Doukan.
Slightly dry and rich, with a robust flavor that is relaxing to the palate.
It has a nice fresh flavor, but when it is heated up, the acidity is clear and gentle.
I enjoyed it alternately cold and warmed.
It was the first time I heard of this drink.

A refreshing sake with a gaseous feel that is typical of unfiltered, directly brewed sake.
It is rare to find a sake made with Watafune Rokugo.
It is a fresh yet sweet sake with a sour taste in the second half.
It has a rather modern taste, and it might have been better to drink it in the beginning.
I would like to drink this sake again.
If I see it at a liquor store, I will buy it immediately.
Last Saturday was MAJ's farewell party: 6 of us, MAJ, Haruei Chichi, Rika, her subordinate, Boss, and myself. We had a great time. I forgot to take a group photo... I left all the reviews of the day to my seniors lol. (After all, I can't do outside drinking reviews...)
And drinking at home. New discovery. Sake from Shiga Prefecture.
Classic sweet aroma. From the first, you feel an unexpectedly mellow and crisp acidity. It has a strong sense of sweetness and flavor of rice. It is classic, but also juicy and mysterious, which is very popular these days.
Good evening, Mr. Gura 😃.
Long time no see 😅MAJ looks like you are enjoying your farewell party 😆It seems like you leave all the reviews to your seniors... 🤣MAJ, I guess you will have an offline meeting every time you go back to Fukuoka 🤣⁉️
Rafa papa Thank you for your hard work. It was a fun time, although I am more than a little sad to see you go. I've given up on the outside drinking reviews.... If I did it every time I returned home, it would be more than ever, but that's OK 🙆♂️ lol
With this, it is read as "kokoro". It is bottled from the side where it was squeezed, which is called "nokkumi".
Despite the 70% rice polishing ratio, the fresh aroma has a hint of ginjo.
In the mouth, after the sweet and sourness of the clean, unpasteurized sake passes, a lingering taste of umami lingers on the tongue. Delicious.
This sake brewery is located in the Tokaido Shukubamachi area. This sake is dry, but it is even richer than that, and we enjoyed it slowly and deliciously.
