I bought this sake because it was recommended at a sake shop as an Autumn Sake. I've never tried Kiyoshi's sake, but it's made by the sake brewery that makes Toko. Kiyoshi's sake is clean and crisp, I would imagine from its name. The sake I bought this time was not labeled as an Autumn Sake, but it seems to be a sake that has been aged for six months and is only available at this time of year.
The aroma is gentle.
In the mouth, the taste is deep and full, typical of Omachi. After that, the strong bitterness gives it a refreshing finish. The owner of the store called this sake "delicious and crisp", and I thought he was right. It was interesting because of the unusual flavor of the omachi and the crispness.
After a couple of days after opening the bottle, the initial Omachi feeling faded and it became a dry sake without much character. I should have drunk it earlier.
