It's so, so thick! The color is brown like soy sauce, and the taste is ripe like Shaoxing wine... I had it warmed. It was my first time 🎵.

It is a blend of four types of old sake made in the year of the Rabbit (1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011) and junmai sake made in the year of the Heisei 30.

Long Aged Old Sake 🍶Heisei 31st Year of the Boar Limited Blend✨🐗. This sake is a blend of old sake made in the year of the boar after 1971 plus α. According to my friend, is it safe to drink? 😅It's different genre from normal sake. Caramel. It's like a sherry Pedro Ximenez. Sea and @ Takadanobaba 20220720

The last was a Jun Dai from Hana-no-i. I thought there were a lot of animal label names, but I was told that it is a series of Birds, Animals, and Caricatures. It is an aged sake. It has a good balance of umami and acidity. I was just a little tipsy after two sets of drinks.

Japanese>English

The third drink was at Hana-no-i. When I visited this restaurant on another day of the week, the person standing at the counter was a Hana-no-I employee. I ordered it because I remembered that I had it heated at that time. It was delicious with just the right amount of acidity.

Japanese>English

Heated slowly to 60 degrees Celsius as advised by the liquor store! The sweetness of the rice spread out and tasted delicious!

A brewery that specializes in aged sake serves sake made for aged sake as undiluted sake. It's been about two years since it was made, so maybe it's been sleeping in the shop? It doesn't have a nigori feeling at all. It has a certain aged feeling, but it's clearly different from the old one. It's not fruity, but it's sweet. It is not fruity but sweet. The sourness is strong and it is like a thick honey. It is sweet, but some people may feel the alcohol in the latter half is pungent.

Japanese>English

The Year of the Rabbit will soon be over, so I decided to open the bottle. Time flies............................................. When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is full of bitterness like chocolate. The mouthfeel is surprisingly mellow and rough, and the taste is very chocolaty. The balance between sweet and astringent umami and mildness makes it seem that way, and it is a delicious taste that can only be described as chocolate ✨. It has a unique old sake taste, but I think it is one of the easiest to drink! And the aftertaste is also choco choco choco... 🍫. It was the first time for me to buy and drink it properly, but I guess it is delicious because it is from an old sake brewery! If I see it again, I'll buy it 😌.

Rich sweetness like plum wine or Shaoxing wine. Want to savor it slowly. It may be served at room temperature.

7.5 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content : 15 Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed Sake Degree : Undisclosed Store where purchased : After all is said and done, Japanese face (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly amber in color. Slightly full-bodied rice malt top-drinker The aroma is like soy sauce behind the same aroma of the top rise, and the firm umami of rice and the moderate sweetness spreads zingily with soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice aroma with a moderate bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It has a mellow and unique aroma, a deep flavor, and a strange impression that does not feel heavy, making it a good match for strong-flavored meals. Even as a stand-alone sake, its mysterious impression is addictive. It goes well with grilled bonito, dashimaki egg with shrimp, teppanyaki hormone of Hikoma pork, and motsu (pork bone) stewed tofu.

Photo right. Chosen because of its cool name...! Yellowish in color. Sour and bitter. It has an aroma. It does not taste like sake. I feel like I have had this kind of taste before. It is easier to drink with oden.

Junmai Ahusu Nama Genshu "acid high" limited edition‼️. What kind of brewing method is it? 🤔 Very sour and unique tasting sake 😳. I'm being cheeky not knowing the normal afs, but it was a stylish sake, more overly yellow in colour than other afs❣️.

It says Gotenzakura in small letters on the lower left corner of the front label, but I was told that it was a PB from a local liquor store. Sake made with LED dream yeast from Tokushima🍶. The aroma on the nose is gorgeous and fruity. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the smooth sweetness and umami. It also has a fruity overtone. This sake has a good aroma. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

Gotenzakura doburoku, which my father somehow bought on Amazon.com. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand...it's been a long time since then. The initial aroma is faintly sweet with a hint of koji malt. In the mouth, there is a slight sourness like plain yogurt and a slight sweetness of rice. I was able to drink it quite refreshingly while chewing on the rice. I guess it's like a sweet sake with a lot of sake lees, but with much less sweetness. It was delicious ✨.

Japanese>English

Saito Sake Brewery, which we stopped by during our Shikoku expedition, is located along the main road in a cozy setting 😁 The sales office is connected to the office and is a typical old-established establishment. Unfortunately, the new sake was not yet available, but I got the most popular junmai ginjo here, a beautiful indigo-colored bottle that raised my expectations 😁. The Junmai Ginjo from Gotenzakura has a fruity aroma with a strong ginjo aroma that spreads as soon as the bottle is opened. It has a sweetness at first, followed by sourness, bitterness, and a strong overall taste. Overall, it is a very rich sake👍.

Purchased at the HYOGO SAKE EXPO. The aroma is of aged aroma like Shaoxing wine. The hint of gunpowder-like aroma. I think it is clean and easy to drink for an aged wine. I thought it would be good to drink with fruits and sweets. The acidity is a nice accent. Perhaps because it is a daiginjo, it feels fruity even though it is an aged sake.

Japanese>English

Harima is a sake from Miki. Although unfiltered, it had a beautiful mouthfeel with no cloying taste. It was a truly delicious sake with a pleasantly cool flavor and umami.

Japanese>English

It's been a long time since I drank outside, and I was so drunk that I don't remember much ... . It was an unforgivable mistake for a drinker....... It was a traditional sake with a strong flavor, and went very well with the avocado yukke we had together (I think). The alcohol content was quite high, so it's good when you want to have a strong drink with a solid accompaniment.
