Drank on the first day of the New Year,
Shochiku Ume keg sake.
This is a new product released on October 21.
It has a clean, subtle oaky aroma.
The quality of the sake is clean and easy to drink.
It has a nice oaky form and the perfect volume of 250ml. The form with a hint of oak and the exquisite 250ml volume are good 👍.
The following is an excerpt from the brewery's news release
>>>>>
Shochiku-bai "Tarusake" 250ml can features a design reminiscent of a "komotaru" barrel, which is used to create the festive atmosphere of Kagami-biraki during New Year's. The fresh aroma and deep flavor of Yoshino cedar barrels can be easily enjoyed in a can. It is easy to store in a refrigerator, etc., and the aroma and flavor of the cedar barrels are enhanced when drunk chilled, making it a perfect match for Osechi (New Year's Eve) dishes and New Year's soba noodles.
Dry sake with a strong cedar barrel aroma.
Looks good warmed up as indicated.
I'm not sure what to do with it since it is not microwavable, probably because of the gold leaf.
