8 years old noble sake. Purchased at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Chicago. The color is brown like a sherry barrel whiskey. The aroma is sweet and sour like black vinegar or apple cider vinegar. There is a feeling like nuts. When you put it in your mouth, it has a rich sweetness and bitterness like burnt brown sugar. The acidity is much milder than you would imagine from the aroma and is only slightly perceptible in the aftertaste. The aftertaste is deep and long. If it were a wine, it would be like an ice wine, a sake that you would like to have as a dessert after a meal.
