Celebrating the 15th anniversary of Yonotori, first brewed in 2008
Includes a glass with exclusive specifications following the 10th anniversary of Flaxcat and the 10th anniversary of Ten Frog
I thought it would be sparkling because of the champagne bottle, but the carbonation is about the same as a regular draft sake.
Maybe they just wanted to use a heavy bottle because it was a commemorative sake.
The aroma is a very strong oak barrel type smell.
When the sweetness of the Yonotori is added, it becomes a sweet and savory smell like caramel and toffee, perhaps due to the effect of the glass, and it smells very delicious!
There is also a melon-like aroma that is typical of Yonotori, although it is only faintly noticeable.
Taste wise, it's very similar to regular Yonotori.
It has a melon-like sweetness and a moderate acidity, and together with the slight carbonation, it is very easy to drink and delicious!
However, compared to the regular Yonotori, it has a more complex flavor from the oak barrels and a little bit of aging, which gives it a three-dimensional and very deep taste.
It is one of the most unique and drinkable of the recent Shinmasa, but it also has the danger of making it hard to stop drinking!
