The aroma is fruity and mineral, with less sweetness than expected.
I asked Bouken if he had seen the label anywhere, and he said it looked like the shochu "Torikai," and indeed it was!
The story of the brewery is interesting. The brewery was founded in 1920 by 50 townspeople in Wakasa. Mr. Yasuhiko Kobori, the current 5th head brewer, was originally an office worker and engineer. He took over the family business after the sudden death of his predecessor, and at one time considered closing the business, but resumed brewing sake in response to the passionate wishes of the local residents and shareholders.
So the brewery is loved by the locals.
We borrowed this photo as well.
