つよぽん
My wife selected this sake (we told the waiter what we liked and he picked it for us), which was also our first sake.
Purchased at "Sake-no-Osaka-ya" for ¥1,550-.
I was nervous when I opened the bottle because of the warning label, but it was ok😅.
As a side note, the fact that it is made from "glutinous rice" reminded me of my very local Yanagisawa Sake Brewery.
When I opened the bottle, it had a nice aroma.
I poured only the top clear liquid in the first glass.
It has a gentle sweetness, like a pre-ripe melon. The slight gassiness combined with the refreshing sweetness made for a very tasty sake.
After the second glass, I slowly stirred the lees, but there was no change in taste.
It is a type of sake that I have never encountered before, but it is very nice.
On the second day, the taste changed drastically, with more sweetness (less gaseous) and a surge of umami, and a slight bitterness that was not noticeable on the first day appeared, transforming it into a deeply flavored sake.
Considering the purchase price, I felt the cost performance was quite good.
I would like to buy this sake if I could repeat the purchase.
