The top aroma is unique.
Unique flavor that is difficult to describe in the mouth.
The impression is that sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness change frequently in the mouth. Freshness peeks out in places.
Dry and minerally mouthfeel
Nutty taste at the back of the mouth when it gets close to room temperature.
A little woody, though I don't think it's from a wooden vat.
The overall impression is spicy and the spiciness lingers in the mouth for a long time, just like koge2's review.
I definitely prefer the Kijoshu, Sherry Cask, and Sparkling that I had last year from this series.
I think I've had a lot of Okutanba in total, but I can't seem to get into it 🤔.
Chitose was pretty impressive though.
I wish they'd serve the wooden bill in four-packs...
