This sake has a vanilla-like sweetness and aroma, but is not harsh and full-bodied.
I like Shirataka.
They also have shochu and plum wine, which I would like to try.
Sake degree / +3
I didn't know it was a sacred sake, but I bought it.
However, I unexpectedly liked the taste and wanted to try Shirataka.
It is easy to drink, with a sweetness that is in proportion to the sake's sake content.

Fluffy and gentle to drink, the full-bodied sweetness intensifies as the caramel aroma is squeezed dry. After it wears off, it is hot and dry. The apricot sweet bitterness lingers afterwards.

Shirataka has continued to donate sake to the Jingu Shrine since 1924, and this commemorative sake was released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the donation to Ise Jingu Shrine.
Goryoshu is the sake offered to the gods of Ise Shrine along with sea bream and kelp.
Since it is made from Yoshikawa's Yamada-Nishiki, I imagined it to be juicy and thick, but it was surprisingly a bit dry. I drank it cold, but it might have been different if I had warmed it up to lukewarm.
