Tokyo Souvenir Sake No. 3
Purchased at a liquor store in Koenji
This is my first brand.
Cold sake
Nutty aroma.
The strength of the sake comes through from the mid-palate to the aftertaste.
Bitter chocolate astringency in the aftertaste.

Nearly colorless pale yellow
The first impression of the aroma is gentle
banana, caramel, lime, dumplings, bitter chocolate
First impression of the taste is rather strong
Caramel-like sweetness, firm acidity, bitter with bitter chocolate taste.
The bitterness has a strong presence, but it wears off quickly, so it is not unpleasant.
I was fooled by the cute label and aroma.
It's quite a punch at the moment of drinking it.
I can feel the chocolate.
I wonder if it would taste good with chocolate, or maybe it would cancel each other out.
I wonder what goes well with chocolate,
I think it would go well with nuts.
Salty nuts, like the peas from persimmon peas.
Sweet graininess in the mouth.
A slight aroma of maturity.
Compared to 4 year old wines, it has a youthful and fresh feeling,
It has a round and full flavor. It tastes like Shikizakura.
I can't pinpoint what it is.
It's like a messy taste between the eyebrows.
Degree of liking 2/5
First served cold, then lukewarm.
Sake with a strong rice flavor and umami. But it also has a sharpness that does not leave a lingering aftertaste.
The fact that it is made from edible rice called Tochigi no Hoshi is understandable.
It can be served with any side dish that goes well with rice. Natto (fermented soybeans) is a perfect match.
Second bottle for Valentine's Day gift.
It has a gorgeous aroma, but it has a strong, umami taste as a sake.
The slightly stylish bottle is a bit like a grocery store stocking.
You can enjoy the lingering taste and aroma of this sake.
Fresh aroma of young pineapple and banana.
Tropical flavor in the mouth.
The sweetness is quite moderate, but the acidity is sharp.
The acidity is sharp and has a good flavor that is not too dry.
The texture is clean and refreshing,
It has a clean texture and a refreshing sharpness.
Light and dry. Good.
Taste 4/5
