A new product from Kidoizumi AFS. This is a sake made by aging AFS for more than two years.
It has a slight oak aroma and a sweet and sour aroma.
In the mouth, sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. It has a long aftertaste, but the acidity keeps it from being too seductive.
Is this sake really sake? It's OK because it tastes good!

Matured Type Junmai 5 years old. Sake made from Yamada Nishiki. It has a nutty aroma of maturity, and a delicious flavor with acidity. The aroma and taste are a little mirin-like. It is good to drink slowly after a meal. It seems to go well with Kakuni (stewed cubes of meat).

2019 Junmai Old Sake. Aged in sherry casks.
After opening the bottle, the aroma is of chocolate.
I was taught that sherry is white wine to which brandy is added and aged in barrels to get that flavor.
I was surprised to learn that this sake tastes like this after being aged with rice, malted rice, and sherry casks.
It tastes just like regular sherry. It is a wonder I can't get enough of it.
I would like to recommend this sake to anyone who loves sherry to try it.
