Limited edition of 300 bottles. The aroma is quite fruity at first, and at that point it sets it apart from the usual Tajima Nama Nama Sake. The mouthfeel is of course fruity and delicious! I prefer this one just as a sake. I thought the sweetness would fight each other when paired with crab, but it didn't. It was delicious after all.
I had tasted it at the liquor store during the day, and it was so good that I was considering buying it, but then I had other plans, so I had to leave for a while. I promised the liquor store owner that I would definitely come back, but my plans were running quite late and it was dusk when I got back. I thought they might have sold out, but I was super lucky to find only one bottle left! It was not from ......, but from Totsan, who had kept it for me. I'm sure I've encountered many rude people who wouldn't come back with a verbal promise, but this was the moment when I realized that this sense of duty and humanity is one of life's greatest pleasures. To top it all off, Totsan's feelings were added to the sake, and it was the best sake I have ever tasted.
