Clear and colorless with a very slight yellowish tinge
The barrel sake element is at the forefront, with an overwhelming aroma of cypress.
The other elements are quite backward and difficult to detect, but there are glimpses of raw material aroma in the background, similar to that of the Junmai Namakaho sake from the same brewery.
The acidity is lively and makes you think it is a pure sake brewed from the same brewery.
From the attack, the taste is clearly dry and seems to be a sake made for cask sake.
The elegant bitterness typical of Daishichi spreads slowly and lingers for a long time like an aged whiskey.
A barrel sake limited to some of Daishichi's liquor stores.
The price is very aggressive for a Daishichi sake of nearly 3,000 yen.
The quality is unquestionable, but considering that the oaky aroma is too strong and it is difficult to enjoy the refined Daishichi aroma, it is not convincing that it is positioned on the same level as Rakutenmei and a little below Minowamon.
However, Daishichi's barrel sake is rare and not at all a sake to be talked about in terms of cost performance.
