The rice used is 100% Dewanosato rice produced in Yamagata Prefecture.
This is a 10-year aged old sake, limited to the Kigawaya Hanpukai.
It is then aged for another year at home.
It has a savory flavor with a nutty roasted feel.
It has a deep sweetness.
Long-aged, but easy to drink without being sticky.
When heated, the alcohol comes on strong.
The sweetness settles down and it becomes more dry.
The umami is very strong.

At a drinking party with some people from my office sometime ago (3)
Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅.
A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well.
The organizer was considerate enough to choose a restaurant that serves Sake, so out of respect, I drank only Sake 🍶.
(I didn't drink as much as the other sake drinkers at Sake no Wa 😄)
After the third glass or so, everyone around us was in sake mode.
I toasted again with a tokkuri of tohokuizumi (cold or at room temperature) to match my love of clear, dry sake 🍶.
There is nothing more to say about this kind of sake, it's clear and dry, and you can taste the umami flavor of the rice.
I love to drink sake by myself, but it is also intoxicating to drink sake from the same sake bottle with a group of friends, pouring and pouring while enjoying the same sake 🍶.
I was able to experience the moment when sake, which brews harmony, really comes into its own!
My colleague who was drinking with us liked it so much that he repeated the tokuri several times!
It is a great pleasure for me to know that people like and enjoy drinking any kind of sake. ☺️
4.5/5.0
The sweetness, flavor, and depth all make it a very good sake in my opinion. The strong koji aroma limits the food, but it goes well with dark sashimi, tuna, bonito, and 🍒.
