Sake and snacks from the same prefecture 😎😎.
They go well together 😆😆😆😆😆.
This is another souvenir from our trip to Tottori Shimane. It had a unique taste as well as an impactful name, and it was a hard-to-drink sake for professionals. It was amber in color like old sake, and the acidity and astringency came first. My partner said it tasted like Shaoxing wine. I have never had Shaoxing wine before.
I bought this sake in Shimane because of the impact of the label. It has an amber color with a sense of maturity typical of San'in sake. It does not have much sweetness, but has a rich acidity and rich umami flavor. Personally, I found it softer and tastier when heated than when cold. I opened the bottle because I simmered some oden, and it was the perfect combination when heated.

At the time, the mainstream sake was light and dry, but we thought it would be interesting to create a sake that was the complete opposite of the current trend.
The name "Shinigami" (god of death) was chosen to reflect the opposite image of the sake, as it is the opposite of the current trend.
Flavor like Shaoxing sake.
It has a rich, mature taste,
The flavor is robust and acidic!
Golden in color.

Dark amber in color with an old sake-like aroma, it is dry with a strong acidity in the mouth...
It was a very strong sake with a unique and peculiar taste, with a bitter taste that left a lingering sensation in the mouth after drinking.
It is not my favorite sake, so I gave it 2 stars😅.

This sake is as rich and matured as its name. The flavor is robust, but the sweetness is moderate and the acidity is firm, so you can drink it one after another with good sharpness.
Rich, sweet and umami taste
The color has a plum wine and port wine feel, and the mouthfeel has an old sake feel, with a hint of oak, and a very dry, clean finish.
It looked like it was fermenting. The color was light brown, and it did not look like anything else. It was almost like shochu, but with a strong peculiar taste. I felt the atmosphere was similar to that of Nara-zuke, a type of rice wine.
