It is said to be the oldest sake brewery in Japan.
The sake has a profound feeling, yet it is delicious and can be easily drunk cold.
The aroma spreads in the mouth and makes you feel pleasantly intoxicated.
Today, a Junmai Daiginjo Yamazakura Momo (YASURA) from Sudo Honke in Ibaraki Prefecture: ❗️
The aroma is faintly like old sake. The first sip has a dense texture on the tongue. After that, it has a numbness and a deep flavor like old sake. ❗️The sake we drank this time was last year's sake, so it was a nama-zake, but it didn't have much of a nama-zake feel. ❗️❗️
