Got this on a trip to Sanin/Kyushu last month!
The postponed brewery opening happened to be held, so I joined and bought it on the way to Dazaifu. We will have it with the Narazuke that we bought together👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell the fragrant woody aroma! The color is a little ochre and it feels like you are in a hinoki bath.
It reminds me of the "Shinmasa" series that I drank at a festival at the end of last year, but this one has a much stronger aroma.
It is smooth on the palate, but has a slightly mellow sweetness. The barrel aroma mixed in with this gives it a mildly sweet aroma and flavor.
The combination of the relaxed sake quality of "Tamade-sen" and the barrels. There was a steady stream of people buying it, which is understandable ✨.
And it blends so well with the salty taste of the Nara pickles and the sake lees, your chopsticks just won't stop!
I can't get to Kyushu very often, but I hope to revisit the Futsukaichi Onsen and Dazaifu area again someday 🙂.
