3.4 Strong angular alcohol smell. But that doesn't mean it's not tasty, it's normal. Interestingly, the dessert was served with cheesecake, which brought out the full flavor of the rice.
I bought it in B2F at 名古屋高島屋, because I have heard that 伊賀半藏酒廠 has a long history of producing sake,while this 300ml 辛口 is the only thing I can find so far。It tastes strong mallow, 清香淡雅, nice rice aroma, smooth body, and not expensive at all. Very suitable for casual drink.
The name derives from "Hattori Hanzo," who led the Iga Ninja.
Sake that is deeply delicious. It is a sweet sake that is gradually sweet in the mouth. However, when it passes down the throat, it feels dry. Overall, it is not assertive, just quietly delicious. The spiciness is gradually transmitted as it rolls down the palate.
The liquid has a slight yellowish tinge, and the legs, although a lot of them are sticky, are weak and disappear quickly.

A nice apple-like aroma 😊 as soon as the bottle was opened.
Great anticipation 🤩.
In the mouth, it is sweet and yet refreshing!
Umami and acidity are also present, clean and balanced taste, delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.
It's so easy to go.
It goes well with jyoyo-nabe, amberjack, and Thai shabu shabu 👌.
A bit of a shame that the bitterness becomes a bit stronger at room temperature 😢.
Personally, I prefer it cold ☺️
Good evening, Takunon-san 😃!
