Finally, we opened a bottle of vintage nama-shu, a 7,800 yen bottle that arrived from the New Year's sake gacha! According to KURAND's introduction, "Freshly squeezed sake is aged for a long period of time in sub-zero temperatures of -5℃. "It is characterized by the contradictory new taste of "vintage but fresh. This is a new taste. The expectation for the unknown taste is high.
When I smelled it, the first thing I felt was alcohol. It has a strength of 19 degrees, which makes sense. What comes through is an aroma with a fruitiness that reminds us of the time when it was freshly squeezed, while remaining calm. It has a fruity aroma that reminds us of the time when it was freshly squeezed. I haven't drunk it yet, but I wonder if old sake is also like this?
The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a bitter taste. Soon after, you can feel the sweetness, the modest acidity, and the umami of the rice. However, the main role of the taste is bitterness, and the taste is as if the bitterness wears sweetness, sourness and umami. In the aftertaste, a rich bitterness passes through, and the receptive flavor peculiar to fermented grains lingers, like after eating a baguette.
I like the taste of aged raw sake. It's delicious.

I'm really surprised that the aftertaste is just like after eating a baguette. If you just feel the aftertaste, you might think you ate a baguette right before, lol.
