One made in 2023. I drank it on August 12, 2025, a long time after that. To be honest, I don't remember much from that time because I buy it every year, but I have a feeling that it is getting harder and harder to buy every year.
On the first day, there is a soft smell of pineapple. It smells almost like apple. But on the third day or so, the pineapple aroma becomes more and more intense.
Surprisingly, even after more than two years, it still tastes juicy and tangy on the palate! And not only that, it has a pleasant sweet and savory flavor. Moreover, it has a very soft mouthfeel, so you can't help but drink more and more of it. It is the kind of sake like Jyushiyo, Jikin, or Hanaoyokko. So I think it is a sake that almost anyone can drink and say it is delicious.
This is a particularly wonderful gem, with an elegance that is gorgeous and fresh, yet has a softness.
