Kumakichi
Following the tokoso, the first bottle to be opened in the new year is the annual zodiac bottle of Tasake!
Last year's bottle had an impactful tiger label, but this year's bottle is a spectacular bottle with 17 cute rabbits plus one more!
The reason for the +1 rabbit is the 🐰 on the back, which reads 🐰 "Ugly! Uumai!" on the back of the bottle, which is also impressive for the first laugh it evokes!
When we immediately took a sip, we found it to be a very fresh and crisp raw sake, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a slight sweetness after the first sip, and a mineral and bitter aftertaste as we swallowed it.
We have already had a seasonal label Junmai Ginjo made from the same 100% Hwaso sake rice, but this time the zodiac bottle had a more voluminous feel to it!
May this bottle be the start of many more delicious sakes for you this year! We look forward to serving you again this year.
