My first old wine.
It has a unique aroma, like a smoked fish. It's so addictive that I want to keep smelling it.
The rich, mellow, brandy-like flavor seems to go well with peculiar snacks. It is also good on the rocks.
Sake is a drink for adults, and even among such drinks, this one seems to be an adult's drink.
Pineapple, banana, syrup and rice cake. The flavor is a beautiful combination of tropical fruit aroma and rice flavor. The attack is fresh, the taste is edgy and moderately bitter, and the aftertaste has a slight sense of maturity like an old wine. The flavor changes with each passing step, from a sweet aroma, to a dry taste, to a mature aftertaste.

Even though it has a sweet aroma, the taste is a little different from today's aromas of cold or honored chrysanthemums. It might be delicious with smoked food in combination with cave aging.
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.
