First time in Tottori. An acquaintance recommended it to me and I bought it at a nearby department store....
As it turns out, it was my least favorite type ๐ญ.
It was thick like Shaoxing wine, yet not too sweet, no sharpness. The smell is like shiitake mushrooms. More like "that smell" I've smelled many times, mainly in India. You know, the smell of underground wells and cave temples....
This brewery seems to make a sake that is suitable for heating up, and perhaps it was my fault for drinking such a thing at room temperature. I am sure it would taste wonderful if it were heated up. But we don't have a microwave oven.
I guess I didn't have much luck with this brand. I feel bad for the acquaintance who recommended it to me.
