Fruity aromas prevail. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. The impression is light and easy to drink, with little alcohol. In the mouth, a gentle sweetness spreads.
Purchased at AEON Liquor Shop in Tonami.
Commemorative sake for the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
The color is slightly amber.

2025 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake
Yoshinotomo Shiboritate
The fourth bottle in the table set. It is simple, but also consistently delicious, as expected.
Until last year, there were many other sakes chilled on both sides of the hall and you were free to take them, but then there were tables with 10 or more bottles lined up, and this year there was a 4 bottle rule that you had to either empty the table or bring an exchange item 😭
The third one, "Hou," another brand of Yoshinotomo, was pulled out because everyone knew it was an expensive sake!
The glass artist in attendance got it, but a few minutes later, another table member came to ask for an exchange. No no no, he asked us to wait until after all the people at this table had poured 🤣.
