2025.129th.
This is the first we have had in a long time, Sanzo.
This time it was a regular top-class shichinonosake, the highest level of this season, brewed by the ancient "shiori" brewing method.
It seems to be brewed in the same way as the sake used in the legend of the defeat of the eight-forked serpent, in short, it is a noble brew.
It is such a sweet sake that I drank it in gulps and even the eight-forked serpent fell asleep.
This was my first time to taste a San-do kijoshu, and I was wondering what it would taste like, but it was rich and sweet.
The taste reminds me of grapes like San-do's Yamadanishiki, but because it is sweet, I cannot taste the minerality or acidity characteristic of San-do.
Personally, I like it, but if I were to drink it as San-do, I would probably prefer Ni-no-sho.
I think that the higher regulation and higher price do not necessarily correspond to whether or not the taste is to one's liking.
It seems that Hozu had the same regulation, and I was curious about it, but couldn't afford it...
I would like to have it again if I have the opportunity to visit the next production.
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
