I personally think that many Hiroshima sake are difficult to drink, in a good way.
It is complex and has many layers of flavor.
Light red amber color. Steamed cloth aroma, rice sourness, and burnt bitterness. When combined with food, the bitterness disappears and the fullness is felt.
I wanted to try this brand at least once.
It is so soft, smooth, and light sake that you would never guess from the name "Emperor of the Night" 🍶.
The "Emperor of the Night" must be a very gentle man...lol...

On my way back from the Hiroshima Saijo Sake Festival, I visited a sake brewery and bought this.
The combination of the harsh appearance and the destructive power💥 of the 20% alcohol content was the deciding factor in my purchase 😆.
Now to open the bottle 🍶.
It has a round mouthfeel that you wouldn't expect from a 20° alcohol by volume 😙.
Smooth sweetness and sourness makes it easy to swallow 😅.
The next moment, I feel the alcohol hitting me from the back of my throat to my stomach area 😨.
It was the type that comes late 🤣.
I wonder what kind of brewing process is used to make this 🤔.
It's a badass sake in terms of taste and brewing technique 😇
