16 degrees of flavor
Extremely clean due to the high milling rate (=much less savory rice flavor)
But the fruity and floral flavors are too strong for my liking
My own family gave me this.
Slightly thickened mouthfeel.
Mellow and full-bodied sweetness on the tongue.
It has just the right amount of sourness and bitterness to give it a nice sharpness.
Date of manufacture: December 2023

-We drink Otter's "Tankoba Kumi" every year.
We have been drinking Otters' "Tankoba Kumi" every year.
This year, too.
As usual, it was full of umami,
It was a superb product!
I want to drink it again.
I had missed the chance to drink it because I thought I could drink it anytime 😅 due to its easy availability. I had a chance to drink it for the first time at my relative's birthday party 🎂🎉😊♬
The aroma is fruity like melon, and the taste is sweet and elegant. Thank you very much for the food 😋😋.
Hello, catpunchS closing M!
Happy birthday to your relatives🎉!
Birthday parties are good 🎵
It's true that otters tend to drink outside, but if you drink it, it's still delicious 😋.
Yesterday was the annual event, tennis 🎾 ~ hot spring ♨️ ~ drinking 🍻 with my high school classmates in Shonandai.
We went to the same restaurant we went to once before.
After 3 beers at Onsen and this restaurant, it was time to move on to sake!
Because we took her to Noge 😭, she stopped drinking 😭 asked me "Is Otter delicious?" I asked her if she wanted to try some. So we decided to try some Otter Sake.
Soft sweetness
Slightly lingering on the tongue
A little sourness
Clear, gentle and fruity
Delicious, but something a little off? I don't care though... 😉.
I don't remember this place serving a single-batch bottle like this.
The next Hakkaisan was also served in a single-bottle!
This one is a bit more sour.
Izumibashi, Koshinoketora and others were made in tokkuri, I gave up on the picture😅.
But we ordered 1 sake bottle at a time several times, and finished yesterday happily!
Today, I went to Shonandai again after 8am, this time to meet my college friend and play tennis with his regular tennis team.
Maybe I should have stayed the night instead of making the 2 hour round trip 🤣.
The first of this year's hometown tax returns... this time it's a set of Iwakuni Gozo sake and Iwakuni specialty snacks from Iwakuni City 😀.
First of all, we started with Otters, which we haven't had in a while 😀.
I haven't had Ottersai 45 in a year 😀.
Actually, a year ago, in order to get certified as a sake taster, I practiced blind tasting by randomly selecting 4 bottles of sake each day in small batches of more than 10 bottles 🤣.
I have a stupid tongue, so my answers were always different and absurd, but the only one I could figure out the brand each time was this Ottersai Jun Dai 45 😀.
Of course it was delicious, but for me it was the only sake with a unique aroma and flavor profile that I could recognize immediately 😇.
I haven't had this sake in a year, but I still have the exact same impression of this sake as I did a year ago😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
The lineup of Iwakuni Gozo sake is irresistible 🤤It's a perfect lineup: ☺️
I see that Otter is the core sake for your tasting! Cool 😎.
I'm looking forward to the remaining 4 sakes 😊.
Good morning, Aladdin 😀
This set of returns is moderately good, isn't it 😀.
I was a bit confused because I didn't know the other brands of sake, but Otters is the only one that I can tell the moment I sniff it and put it in my mouth, so I feel it's a strange sake 😀.
