This is my first Sogapère Ephis.
I bought it from a certain sake retailer's home drinking support set and let it sit in the refrigerator for about two and a half months. I was interested to hear that it was sake made by a winery and wanted to try it someday, and luckily I was able to get my hands on it near the end of the season.
There are several types of sakes made by Sogapère Ephis, and this one is called Ilya Thornton, which means "100 years ago" in French. There is a description of the message behind the name on the back label.
When the cork is removed and the wine is poured into a glass, it has a sweet aroma and at the same time a refreshing alcoholic taste.
The taste has a complex, mild umami and sweetness that is typical of the sake's sake yeast at the first sip, but immediately afterwards it finishes dry with a spicy alcohol sensation that spreads like a classical sake.
The label on the back says "mixed fermentation of No.1 and No.2 yeast" and "assemblage of male and female sake," and it is indeed a sake with a strange flavor that seems to unite two opposing personalities.
The manufacturer's quality assurance period has passed, and the sake "may have an ultra-geeky aroma and taste." But it was a big hit for me personally.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby!
It was a unique yet very tasty drink. ☺️ I don't think I'll get a chance to choose, but if I get another Ilya Thornton, I'd like to drink it within the quality assurance period 😊.
