The mouthfeel is sweet. It is sweet, but less bloated and refreshing. Bitterness also comes in the mouth. The aftertaste is a little bitter, but it is sharp. It is delicious.
Sweetness of rice from the top, fruity and fruity aroma from the middle to the end, just a kick afterwards.
A drink that goes well with meat fat.

This year was personally the first year for me to start drinking sake, and it was a year in which I got into a new world of sake, researching and drinking great sake here and there while reading the diaries of everyone at Sake-no-Wawa. The last sake of 2024 will be from Oita, a prefecture that has a strong impression of shochu (distilled spirit). Located at the foot of the Kujyu mountain range, the Yatsuka Sake Brewery is celebrating its 160th anniversary, and although they now make shochu and cabochon liqueur, sake brewing seems to be their main business since their establishment. It tastes like a light ginjo sake that can be opened easily.
Have a good New Year's!

I bought this bottle in Oita when I visited there for a cardiovascular conference.
The mouthfeel is light and soft, with a mild sweetness and astringency that spreads throughout the mouth, and an aftertaste that leaves one feeling numb and jingly.
Tempura, one after another
Mashed potatoes, shrimp 🦐.
When I asked for the next drink, the waitress said she had saved it for me because it was rare!
I'm sure it's rare because I couldn't find it on the internet.
Indeed, I looked it up again, but it doesn't appear on Yatsuka Sake Brewery's online site either!
Sake-no-wa, it doesn't show up in any of the posts from the past two years!
Then I'll gratefully accept it!
Like the black bottle, the bottle is jet black with rainbow-colored 🏳️🌈 year-old letters.
Almost no aroma here either!
The taste is lighter than Saku.
It is a light sake that doesn't make too many assertions.
Tempura should be savored without salt.
Chilled sake is also good!

Yatsuka Sake Brewery in Oita, let's remember... ♪
When I think of sake from Oita Prefecture, I think of "Nishinoseki" and "Chiebijin," but I had never heard of "Yatsuka.
It was brewed in Kokonoe Town, which reminded me of a very deep mountainous area.
However, it is not a wild drink, and I thought it was rather easy to drink.
I would like to try it there next time!
In Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture, the snack was konnyaku sashimi. It was unexpectedly refreshing and delicious! I wanted to buy it again. Thank you very much for the food!
