Nara's Kitaoka Honten Yatagarasu "Tarusake Kaori-Okori-Okori-Okori-Okoru"
When I was in Nara, I found it for sale at an Aeon, so I bought some to try.
The aroma of the Yoshinosugi cedar taru-shu is very wonderful.
It has two "Masu" (a sake cup) on the top, which means "more and more prosperity". It is a sake for celebration.
I don't usually drink sake that is hi-irin (fire-irrigated), but the taste is not so spicy, but rather refreshing, and the wooden aroma is refreshing and makes the sake very mild when it is drunk with Masu. I would drink quite a bit of this, so I would moderate it a bit. The entrées are bone crackers and Kentucky😊.
