A classmate brought it to me at a home-drinking party!
Polishing ratio 60%.
Sake made from oak barrel assemblage (combining the original sake to achieve the desired taste, apparently).
Strange, never-drank-before feeling.
The aroma is clear, but it comes out of nowhere... At first glance, you can't tell it's oak barrels (whiskey-like), but if you ask... it's like that.
Easy to drink.
But personally, I didn't feel it was clear enough to differentiate it.
Postscript
I'll try it again.
I can feel oak in the aftertaste!
I can feel the whiskey aftertaste!
I was impressed once again. The potential of sake is amazing.
