This sake is made by Shimazaki Shuzo in Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Smooth on the tongue and sweet in taste, this is a sake to be drunk slowly.
Aged and delicious.
It has a brown sugar-like aroma and sweetness, but it is not that sweet, so it can be paired with a variety of dishes.
It is not a strong drink, but it is a good sake to drink in small sips.
This is the first "Uroko-kare" (read as "Uroko"). It was produced in the first year of the 2022 fiscal year. It was brewed in February of the same year, stored in tanks for 240 days, and then stored in a cave in a bottle. Despite being a Yamahai, it has a rounded acidity and a rich rice flavor that is elegant and soothing. It is delicious both lukewarm and cooled. ❗️ According to information from Sakegawa, there are 5 year old Daiginjo and 10 year old Daiginjo, so I would like to try them someday. I might open my eyes to the world of old sake. ⁉️ I'm excited. ❣️
The Cave Brewery, the first aged sake I ever purchased.
Comparison of 1 year, 3 year, and 10 year aged sake!
As the years go by, the amber-colored sake and the aged Daiginjo have a deep flavor!
I think I like the 3 year old the best!
I asked for the owner's bottle, so I can look forward to the aged sake after 5 years.
I got a two year old bottle!
Yum!
Aromatic aroma, rich sweetness, and full of rice flavor!
It goes down the throat smoothly! It goes down your throat smoothly and has a mellow and aromatic taste at the end.

It was recommended to me by a liquor store. Ummm, it's delicious, sweet, matured, and though it's a regular sake, it has great umami, and yet it has acidity because it's Yamahai, so it's well balanced.
The first R1BY was served lukewarm. The color is slightly yellow.
It has a mild umami and sharpness, and I have the impression that lukewarm warming will be good for it. It is easy to drink with little sense of maturity, but when it is warmed up, the sense of maturity comes out a little more.
I ended up buying this set of three types of sake as a souvenir when I visited the Dokusu Sake Brewery. Each one tasted different, and although they were supposedly bottled and stored, the more they aged, the more they tasted like they had been stored in oak barrels, which was interesting.
