The third bottle of the day was the autumn limited edition "Ota-no-Tani" (🍶).
The balance between the rich sweetness derived from the raw material rice "Watanobune" and the acidity that supports it. The harmony of this sweetness and acidity is accompanied by a minerality that fills the mouth with flavor 😋.
The other specs of this sake made me curious 🍶.
The one I've been wanting to try for a while!
The nose is fresh and fruity with hints of muscat, grapefruit and pear.
When you drink it, there is a chili flavor. It has a dense sweetness and umami that is slightly thickened, but it quickly recedes and becomes quite crisp and tight.
The slight bitterness is accentuated.
It has a strong flavor but is not heavy, and the lightness of the mouthfeel makes it easy to drink!
A few days later, the aroma is fresh and citrusy.
It has a mouthfeel like water, but as it rolls around on the tongue, the acidity and umami sink into the tongue, and it slowly becomes delicious! It is delicious!
It was a strange, interesting, and delicious sake 🍶.
It has a ginjo aroma, and the mouthfeel is full of gassy, juicy, grape-like, rich flavors.
The finish is long and subtle with a refreshing wild grape and berry-like red acidity. ☺️
A deep yet refreshing sake 🍶.
Thank goodness it's available by weight ✨.

It was fresh and tasty. It was delicious 😆.
The snack was a confit of Akinatai fish.
This is a local sake, but this is the first time I have had it. The aroma was muscat and grape-like.
The taste is a combination of rich sweetness, light acidity, and a distinctive bitterness at the end.
I would like to try the other specs of this sake as well.
Trophies of Mt. Tsukuba Sightseeing♪ Hatsuwatatsune! The sake is carefully brewed with 55% rice polishing ratio of "Short-stalked boat", the aroma is faint...! The aroma is subtle.... The aroma is subtle...sweet and bitter...with a nice bitter aftertaste. Today, I'm enjoying it with some sashimi of Akinatai fish and raw sardines! It can be drunk as it is or as a food sake 👍This encounter is good...that's why I can't stop...
Good evening, Jay and Nobby.
The "Watanbune" is a delicious 😋 sake 🍶, isn't it? It was Strike's favorite sake. This year's Akinata fish is good in shape and price! It was so fatty and tasty 😋....
