The color is light brown, and the head aroma is of thick cedar, as if this were the only thing in the world.
In the mouth, the aroma of wood barrels initially passes through the nose, but the delicious taste of rice follows later, with a soft smokiness lingering on the palate 🤔.
I happened to be making a snack with avocado and tuna, so I paired it with that and it also went well with it!
Is this a marriage? It was such an exquisite pairing that it made me think 😆.
This was the first barrel sake I received as a souvenir from Yamagata, a bottle stored in the famous Yoshinosugi cedar tree.
I was expecting it to have a stronger flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised by the rice flavor and the discovery of a new pairing, which made it enjoyable from start to finish!
