The second bottle.
Dong!
This sake looks great on a chabudai!
For the second bottle, I chose "Kurehaaru!
The price is much less than 3,000 yen. Quite reasonable.
We split it between two and a half four-pack bottles. I think it can be served at room temperature, but I will have it cold.
It has a full-bodied feeling. It has a sweetness, but it is refreshing. I will drink it in small doses.

It was introduced as Tanizaki Junichiro's favorite sake.
