In 1973, a National Tax Agency engineer developed a "noble sake" based on Japan's oldest sake production method. Normally, sake is made from rice, rice malt, and water, but this sake is made by replacing some of this water with sake. The sake undergoes another fermentation process in the mash, and the resulting sake becomes richer and sweeter. The sake is then fermented again in the mash, making the resulting sake thicker and sweeter. In addition, the sake that is added is put into oak barrels and allowed to mature for one year, which gives it a vanilla-like aroma that enhances the sweetness of the sake. In addition, the sake is now made in wooden vats, making it a unique "noble sake".
Impressions
The sake is sweet, but not only sweet, it has the feel of sake.
It is easy to drink if you are new to sake, but once you get used to it, you may find it too sweet.
