The nose is thick and honey-like.
The aroma is quite close to the richness of oak barrels with a distinct vanilla flavor. The umami acidity is hard to detect.
The nose is thick and quite strong, with a sweetness mixed with oak, followed by a thick, short umami bitterness, acidity, and alcohol that gradually leaves the nose.
The oak sweetness lingers on the palate for a long time, not to be outdone by the bitterness that lingers afterwards.
The tongue roughness is only slightly strong.
It is quite cosy!
This is not a regular Shizen-go, but an assemblage of several types of oak barrel-aged and bottle-stored sake.
First of all, the aroma has a hint of oak in the sweetness of regular Shizen-go. It is rather like red wine or whiskey.
When you drink it, a gentle sweetness comes to the palate, followed by a sweetness covered with the aroma of oak, more like a sweet whiskey than a wine.
This is a wine that is not to be drunk all at once, like the Kaze no Mori assemblage, but to be enjoyed over time.

Yesterday, I attended a reunion in my hometown on the occasion of my 60th birthday 😁.
It had been 10 years since the last reunion, but everyone was young and energetic!
I came home early and had this while soaking up the afterglow!
As soon as I put it in my mouth, I felt the sweetness like custard.
And then the oak barrel flavor came in.
This is delicious 🎉🎉 Must repeat 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩!
I highly recommend it 🎉🎉 🤩 🤩.
Technically, it is not sake, but I am recording it here because it is Shizen-go's plum wine.
This time, it was served with soda. It is said to be pesticide-free and fertilizer-free, but it has a natural sweetness that makes it easy to drink.
This is another challenge frame 🍶.
I really want you to try this one! The clerk was so enthusiastic that I bought it out of curiosity 🫡.
I bought it and immediately tasted it with the clerk 👍.
Aroma...whiskey😳🥃.
Initial taste...Sake with more acidity 🍶🥃🥃.
Pull...somewhere in between 🤔🥃🍶.
What is this sake 🤣?
It has a hint of oak and sake flavor... strange 🤩.
Day 2...soooo good😳
Atmosphere is more acidic sake 🍶.
But the aroma is always barrel-aged 🥃.
I want to enjoy sake with a whiskey like flavor in my nose
Not sure about such a core clientele, but it was a great experience for a fun frame of mind ✨.
I am a frequent drinker of Masamune Instrument Masamune, but I have not had much of a chance to drink Shizenigo.
This time, I bought Enryu Junmai. It had a nice aroma and was fresh on the palate, but I found it to be a bit dry. The final umami flavor invites you to drink the next cup.
I've had a bottle of Shokugaku Masamune before, but this is the first time I've had Shizen-go!
The taste is quite refreshing, with a hint of lychee-like sweetness.
It is good as a food sake because it finishes cleanly!
He said a new deal at his usual liquor store 🍶.
They didn't have any instruments, but I chose this one from a different brand ✨.
It's been a while since I've had a good sake 🍾! I can't wait to try this one!
Soft touch to fruity 🍈Finish is crisp and leaves you wanting the next sip 🍸.
I'd love it if it was a little more chili 😀.
I'm also interested in the Junmai 🌾.
Looking forward to more 🌟
