On my way home, I came across a Takeyuki tasting and sales event at a liquor store. There was a toji there who talked to us about various things and recommended this product, which he said was limited and rare, so we bought it.
(Actually, I was going to buy the sake that won the sake competition gold medal...)
(The aroma was melon-like (as one would expect from Ibaraki), and the palate had a light sweetness and umami flavor, which was quickly broken by the spiciness, but the lingering sweetness remained and spread, which I found to be a very unusual taste. It was delicious and went well with the meat dishes at the department store (discount) 😌.
