I forgot I had it and it had been sitting in the fridge for a while and was getting old, so I had to drink it.
I looked for a white porcelain container to put it in, but it turned out to be a mug. As I had heard, it has a honey color with a hint of mirin (mirin). (There are other sake with this color, though...).
The sweet aroma of mellow rice spread to the nose, and the mouthfeel was similar to that of Yamahai. It is a far cry from the refined sake of recent years, and even has a roughness to it. But this roughness is not necessarily violent; it is rough-hewn on the journey leading to today's sake. From this point on, the sake must be further sharpened and polished, and continue to evolve even now.
