It is a sake, but the alcohol content is 19%, and as stated on the tag, it was aged in whiskey barrels, so the aroma is lightly whiskey-like, and the mouthfeel is both sake and whiskey at the same time. I had it on the rocks, and it went well with both Japanese and Western drinks.
It was in one of the glasses in the sake tasting set (photo left).
It was colorless, so I thought it might have been a mistake, but when I put it in my mouth, it had a subtle whisky-like oak aroma. I thought it would come with more gusto, but this is about as good as it gets.

This is the last bottle of the Fukumao Shuzo set, which was given to us as a celebration.
It has a fragrant, soothing, and elegant aroma from the wooden barrels.
It has a mellow sweetness and a slightly strong acidity.
It has a strong sourness and a whisky-like alcohol taste with a punch.
It has a rich sweetness, a little strong acidity, and a whisky-like alcohol taste.
I am not a fan of whiskey, so I could not enjoy it the last time I had it, but when I tried it again at home, I found it quite tasty.
I think the combination of the sake cup and the food accompaniment is also important.

Borrowing a bit of my wife's drink 🍶.
Chocolate? would go well with it? I took it as you said, and wow!
Yum! It was great to enjoy such a change in taste with a more sharp and refreshing taste!
The feeling is similar to that of drinking old wine. Tastes like it has been soaked in a barrel. I'm not a fan of many brewed alcohol-containing beers, but this one has an antique feel, a slightly tangy aroma like old Awamori sake on the tongue, and a texture that goes down the tongue and down the throat. It is similar to when you drink a strong highball.
It is quite good for those who like the atmosphere of old sake.

It tastes like whiskey: ......!
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. ....
This is a very good whiskey for those who are looking for something different.
It's perfect for when you want to drink a different kind of whiskey.

I got super curious, so I tried it.
I really liked the taste.
Maybe it was because it was room temperature, but it was so mellow.
I thought it would be good in a highball.
