It's not a scent... it's more of a... distinctive smell... and I can definitely tell it's fermented... lactic acid bacteria? Strong acidity! It's a very unique wine, so I think it's a very special drink. I think the flavor is a little more mellow on the second day after opening. It was well preserved, but... but does it really taste like this? That scent? It smells like fresh laundry... like an old wooden tub... and I don't like it... I don't...

This was also purchased at Oka Sake Shoten, the same place as Unjaku. The aroma is mild but unique. The aroma is mild but unique, and it has a light aged feeling, probably because it has been shipped for a long time. If you drink it cold, it has some peculiarities, but overall it is flat. The umami acidity has a strong impact. It would be good to warm it up as well. According to the staff at the store, they won't be making PURE PINK this year. When heated, the sweet and savory flavor really shines through. I definitely recommend it over cold sake.

The rice used is Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. It has a dark mouthfeel and a bit of maturity, but as the days go by, it becomes more rounded and changes to a level where even those who are not good at it can go. However, even though it has become more rounded and easier to drink, the sweetness and strength of the Omachi can still be clearly seen, so there will be different tastes. For me, it's a very interesting sake! The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it might be too peculiar to pair with a meal. However, from the second day onwards, while maintaining its richness, it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and is not bad as a food sake. If you roll it around in your mouth, it is a nicely aged sake, but if you drink it with gusto, you can drink it without worrying too much. Still, I want to enjoy the aged feeling of this kind of sake, so drinking it a little bit every day is good for me.

I had a reason to go to Yajima TDL, so I thought it was a good opportunity to buy something with it, and I was interested in this one. This sake is a blend of a 1+ year old junmai sake base, a 30+ year old junmai sake, and a 5+ year old aged junmai "afs" 🍶. The aroma is a combination of soy sauce and brown sugar, reminding me of Mitarashi w. The mouthfeel has just a little bit of a tang, with caramel at the back of the moderate sweetness taste, but the flavor is completed by a delicious and refreshing acidity. When I drank Daruma Masamune 3years ago, I found that Mitarashi went very well with it, so I tried pairing it with it, but it was too sour and not good enough 🤔. On the second day, it became sweeter, so I tried again with mitarashi, the taste became lighter and it went well with it ✨it became easier to drink 😆I tried to pair it with ice cream, but it wasn't good 😅. I read an article by a brewer and saw that it tastes good mixed with lactic acid and carbonated water, so I gave it a try! If you don't like old sake, this might be good for you ✨. On the third day, I paired the lukewarm sake with cheesecake based on Pon-chan's review, which was also very in tune and delicious 🥰.

Good evening, ichiro18😄. This is another great 🫢 old sake blend that seems to have a lot of flavor. After Ponchan's old sake, the pairing is also western ☺️ I can't imagine a calpis sour! Sounds interesting📝.

Good evening, Hinahana mama 😃. Old sake has a strong habit but once you get used to it, it's delicious ✨I found it to be very sour but it's easier to pair with sweetness 😍Calpis sour is delicious if it's sweet and the aroma is ok 😆.
Japanese>English
ポンちゃん
Good evening, ichiro18 🦉. I see that the sake was from here! I'm surprised that even matured sake can change after a day 😳The result is a great match with mitarashi 👍 Like HinaHanaMama, the calpis sour is an eye-opener 😳.

Good evening, Pon 😃 I thought on my own that old sake can be stored at room temperature in a dark place, but this sake was sold in a refrigerator 😳I searched for it and found that it is stored below 20 degrees Celsius, so I thought it must be delicate 🤣.

Good morning, ichiro18 😃. I'm enjoying reading your various pairings with old sake 😁. The picture of you shaking hands 🤝 with a firm handshake 🤝 seems to imply the very pairing 😉.

Good morning Hiro 😃. It's an old sake so I couldn't gobble it up in a day so I took advantage of the time to give it a try 🥰You're right 👍It does look like a pairing suggestion 😳The idea is great 😊.

Good evening, ichiro18! Is it an aged wine ⤴️ I still get the impression that it has quite a few quirks 😲. I'm very interested in the way you drink it, the temperature changes, the pairing attempts, and the great sake activity 🤗.
Japanese>English

Good evening, ma-ki-😃. I still feel the habit! Especially this brewery's signature brand Afs seems to have a strong acidity and this sake also had a noticeable sourness at first 🤔 The above pairing was good when it comes to sweetness 😃.

I have never had old sake. Is it sweet and sour? I have had old Shaoxing wine before.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
BoseKota, old wine has a strong aroma. It's similar to the aroma of Shaoxing wine if I've ever had it ✨and the mouthfeel is also very smooth and has a deeper taste 🤔.

Hello ichiro18 😃! Oh! I see you went to Yajima TDL🤗. Is it a blend of 30 years old sake 🙂 It's like a father and son sake 🍶 in terms of age! Nice Mitarashi 🍡 challenge too👍.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃. I haven't been to Yajima TDL in 6 months 😁. I see! It's definitely an Oyako sake 👍 it's based on one year aging so it's not that peculiar but it was a delicious sake that goes well with Mitarashi 🥰.

It is a mysterious sake that is made at high temperature. I asked him if it was brewed at high temperature, it would probably taste better heated up, but he refused 😱. I was told that as it cools down, the acidity becomes more pronounced and it becomes more amazing. When I drank it cold, it was as acidic as Chablis! It may be true. It is brewed with their own yeast. They have a very strong yeast!

A unique sake produced by Chiba-based Kidoizumi Shuzo. The rice is polished to 90% and the alcohol content is 15%. At first glance, the color and taste do not resemble sake, but rather a sherry-like flavor. The perfect balance of acidity and umami makes it a perfect pairing with food. ★★★★★

It is easy to drink because it is fruity and has a refreshing acidity that passes through the nose. Although it has acidity, it is not sharp, and there is a lingering umami taste at the end.

AFS was so good that I tried a different kind! It was less acidic and had a unique taste, which gave the impression that it was not to my liking when I first drank it. A few days later, I tried it again and found it to be milder and easier to drink. It became easier to drink, but I thought this kind was okay. ★★★
