One square bottle. I'm glad the crown is knurled for easy opening. First of all, chilled. Solid wood. A clear drop. Drink. Quiet. Freshly cut lumber. Sap overflowing from gnawing at the center of a lush tree. I don't know the variety of the tree. Have I become a beetle? Sweet and soft, just a drop. When I swallow it, a little bitter taste sits in my mouth for a while. If I go out to collect rhinoceros beetles in the early morning of summer with a glass of this, won't I be able to go back to myself of that day? Next, 45°C Cedar-like acidity Drink. The slightly roasted cedar aroma swells. Moderate richness. Bitterness. It seems to be Yamahai. It is fragrant, light and dry. When you swallow it, creaminess appears for a moment and disappears soon. After that, the bittersweetness remains, and it is a good sake. Next, 55℃. A damp tatami in the countryside Drink. It has a modest aroma of fallen wood. The alcohol is slightly strong and pleasant. A veil of creaminess of baked flour throughout. As you swallow, everything is evenly sublimated. At the end, 65°C. Like living in the heart of a damp fallen tree. Drink. Slightly seared straw. A little sweetness and fullness. Basic sake in a good way. As you drink it, it fades away with little lingering. It has a characteristic beetle aroma and a simple Yamahai taste. We don't plan to repeat this sake, but we are curious about it.
