What? I was surprised when I happened to find it in a liquor store I entered. Of course, I didn't bother and bought it right away. After refrigerating it for a couple of weeks, I was ready to drink it!
The aroma is gorgeous! This would be a wonderful aroma for any celebration. Gorgeous, muscat-like freshness and the buttery sweetness of freshly made bread (the fruity note is probably due to this). There is something sweet and sour in the aroma.
When it comes time to drink it, it is surprisingly clear, medium-brewed water, fruity, sweet and sour without losing its gorgeousness. Anyway, it has a sweet and sour taste like muscat and prunes. If one were to ask whether it is sweet and sticky, it is dry and well integrated with the sharpness of the aftertaste.
Perhaps due to the sake's "sake yeast" production, the fine bubbles in a clear glass indicate that the sake is effervescent.
It is more difficult to obtain than Tasake, on par with Shinmasa, and is only available in winter. It was the best sake I have ever had. Thank you very much for your hospitality tonight!
