Purchased during a visit to Tanba Sasayama in Hyogo Prefecture in late fall of last year.
Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku are used for the sake rice.
The sake is made by the Tamba Toji.
The initial aroma is faintly of rice. It has nothing to do with fruity aroma.
In the mouth, you can enjoy the robust flavor of rice accompanied by a slightly strong alcohol taste.
The aftertaste is rather long.
Perhaps due to the soft water of Tamba, it has a mild dry taste.
As the name "country sake" implies, it has an honest flavor that is only as good as the rice used to make it.
Thank you for the sake.
Sake that made me listen to Beethoven's Countryside, apparently.
Mellowly sweet and umami, swelling in the mid-palate, and harmonizing well through the finish.
It has a faint banana-like aroma and a bitter taste all the way through.
It is sweet while in the mouth, but bitter like a medicine when it leaves.
I bought this bottle 🍶 when I took a walk in the castle town of Tamba Sasayama and visited the Hounaru's tipsy castle town, which is now a museum.
I was going to buy the Junmai, but was lured by the words "pichi pichi shuwa shuwa" at the entrance and picked up an aluzoe nigori sake ✨.
It was automatically stirred when I opened it, but it wasn't actually that fresh 💧.

Sasayama ABC Marathon Souvenir Sake No. 2
A countryman attracted by the words "country sake".
The sake is very drinkable when heated up.
It has a rich and full-bodied flavor and is as delicious as the label says!
Sake that you will never get tired of drinking!
Purchased as a reward sake for completing the Sasayama ABC Marathon.
My first Kojo-zake.
What happens when you brew sake with sake?
When I poured it into a sake cup, I was surprised at the color, which looked just like brandy!
It was so sweet, it really was like brandy!
