Sake Days at Home Spring 2021 No.3 This is not a regular product but a sample. It was sealed a few months ago and kept refrigerated. It's been three years since it was made. Early in the morning, we have a drink with wild vegetables (udo, kogome, butterbur's leaf, kinome, koshiyabra, cod's leaf) which we collected in the mountain. First of all, cold sake Pale rum. It is round and cold. I can't believe it's been three years since it was made. Drink. Pale and gentle, like water. Slightly perfumed, probably due to the time. The aftertaste is less in a good way, sweet water. I'm sure the Dreaming Drop that Bratipo drinks in Dracula 6 tastes like this. Next, warm it up to 45°C. The fragrant acidity stands out. Slightly cosmetic aroma. A hiney aroma? Drink it. The attack is a cosmetic aroma. Next, gentle and soft fullness. Bitterness. A light and smooth thickening. When you swallow, you will feel a strong yet gentle bitterness and alcohol in the back of your throat. I forgot about the 55°C temperature, and finally heated it up to 65°C. My honest impression is "unique". Drink it. Gentle but unique. Aroma of steamed straw. Personally, I don't like it much. However, I can't dislike it. A strange feeling. When you swallow it, you will feel a subtle sweetness and bitterness on your tongue. Three years have passed since it was made, and the seal was cut a few months ago. Let's try the product manufactured and sold this year. In that sense, it is a definite repeat.

Memorandum. It says on the back label that Takanoi Sake Brewery was the first sake brewery in Japan to make sake stored in the snow.

Mr. Hiratcho. Thank you for your comment! It's so nice to know there are people who share the same countryside! Local food for local food, so I always end up drinking Niigata sake with the wild vegetables I pick.
