Sake with a strong old sake feel.
It is like a peculiar barley shochu (Kanpachi for example). There is a store called "Snack Tani" in the triangle of Sangenjaya, and the aroma like coffee shochu and too persistent barley shochu smell fight each other.
It also has a bitterness like chocolate,
But it's not the kind of taste I look for in sake.
But it is not the kind of taste we want in Japanese sake.
When it is heated up, the bitterness expands and it is a little better. It's also a little spicy.
But it's still a bit harsh.
