Manabu Ishikawa
When you take a small sip, you can smell a faint aroma of black honey and a hint of aging,
It has a melting mouthfeel, a honey-like sweetness, and a very strong bitter aftertaste. At first glance, the heavy aftertaste might make you tired of drinking it because it is an old-fashioned sake, but it is not as persistent as one might expect from a new sake made in an old vase.
(But it is not as persistent as one might think... (But one must have a tolerance for old incense...)
