I got this at the Kokusyu Sake Fair.
It said that any opened sake was 1,000 yen, so I bought an old turtle that I liked at the fair.
I was a bit confused because the bottle was already opened, but the tank was full. I was a bit confused, but I thought maybe they sold it as opened because no one has a license to sell liquor 🤔.
Some prefectures were selling it at the booth, but I guess they didn't expect to sell it there.
Hachitan Nishiki and Momiji yeast are used. Fruity, apple and pear-like. A little gassy with a smooth mouthfeel. A little spicy at the end. I can't find the same label when I checked... New product?
Pineapple-like when the temperature rises.
There's a product called Red Turtle with the same specs, and I wonder if it's a renewal of that? Old Turtle seems to be renewing the labels of their other products, too.
But I can't find much information about it...
I feel it's very sweet when I drink Morinori Natsu-shu after drinking this...
I think it tastes better when it is close to room temperature than when it is fresh out of the fridge.
When I drank it at a national sake fair, it was a little colder than room temperature.
When the gassiness goes away, it becomes more like a fruity dry sake.
