Yesterday, on New Year's Day, when I had a drink at home with my friends, they brought me a bottle of Ottersai Junmai Daiginjo 45.
We had a bottle of Ottersai Junmai Daiginjo 45.
It has been a long time since I drank Ottersai itself, but the sweetness was just right and it had a nice sharpness to it.
It went well with Osechi, and I finished it immediately.
As expected of Otters!
I wanted to drink something bubbly for New Year's, so I went with the stable Otters Sparkling. The flavor of Daiginjo and the refreshing bubbles match each other, making it very easy to drink.
The classic Otters,
The aroma is fruity, sweet, and very gorgeous,
It has a juicy aroma like sweet melon, ripe pineapple, and pear. The first half is sweet and the second half is sharp, and surprisingly, the last half is dry.
Sake that my father bought at home. Otter every year. I snagged an open bottle,
I can't smell it because my nose is stuffed up. The taste is smooth and sweet like water, and I think there is a little acidity.
It's delicious.
I am a dirty old man who likes to drink, but I rarely buy hard-to-find or expensive alcohol. I am a dirty old man who likes to drink, but I rarely buy hard-to-find or expensive sake.
When I wander around the sake section of a department store, I often see people receiving gift-wrapped Otter Sake, which was also given to me by a prominent person in my company. I was surprised to see such a highly polished sake.
Anyway, I am very grateful.
Since it was so special, I had it on New Year's Day, 2026.
It is a Daiginjo with a single taste and aroma without any mixture. It has a low alcohol content, but it is similar to rice shochu.
It was a gift from my son and his wife, and I waited for my wife's nursing period to end before opening it 😁🍶The aroma is very fruity and sweet on the palate, and it seems like it could be enjoyed as much as you want 😉 My wife hasn't had sake in about 2 years, and she keeps saying "it's delicious!
My wife is also saying "delicious" a lot after 2 years of not drinking sake 😄I think the clarity of Junmai Daiginjo stands out when it is polished to this level. Delicious ❣️
Bought it at Donkey's.
Appearance has a slight yellow tinge.
The aroma is fruity with a hint of fruit. I also sense a touch of alcohol.
The taste feels like it goes in quickly and has a short aftertaste. Easy to drink.
