This is an unusual autumn sake that has been aged for about six months.
Personally, I can't let my sake mature, so I am very grateful that the brewery is doing this for me!
The taste is relatively light, as one would expect it to be more robust.
Perhaps it is because the rice is Hachitan-Nishiki, but it even tastes light.
However, it also has a sense of weight, and a nutty savory taste spreads afterwards.
As the label says, it is best served with cheese!
Oh! It's delicious!
Chibishin I thought it was not so good when I drank it before, but this is delicious 😋.
The sweetness and light gassiness keeps me coming back for more.

While retaining a sweetness and acidity similar to that of freshly pressed sake, it has a dense flavor that is expressed precisely due to the maturation of the sake.
The taste is juicy, mellow and sweet, with a touch of individuality.

Sake rice: Hinohikari, Yamadanishiki
Sake from Oita, Kyushu, Japan. You would think it would have a strong punch, but it has a gorgeous fruity flavor that would be great in a glass of wine.
Served with buckwheat noodles and sweet potato salad! A feast 😋!
"We created this sake with the desire to brew a junmai sake that is clean, tasty, and crisp even with a 70% rice polishing ratio. It was awarded the President's Prize as the best sake among 650 brands at the KURA MASTER 2018 in France. Chiebijin's signature sake."
I bought this sake because I heard it was popular in Oita. Perhaps because it is a souvenir type, it has a stable sweet sake quality rather than freshness. It has a strong aroma of rice and umami, but the aftertaste is clear, crisp, and easy to drink.
Start drinking at 17°C.
This sake was brewed a year ago and aged in its raw state.
So I thought the cork might pop when I opened the bottle, but it didn't. The aroma and taste were bananas.
The aroma and taste are both bananas.
Not as strong as Mitsutake Brewery's "Kimagure Dragon Egg," but banana.
Already, banana.
