I drank it too. I feel that the basic taste of Tasake that I drank in the past (more than forty years ago) has been inherited. (It's a hazy memory...) This commemorative bottle was delicious.

Despite the translucent aroma, the palate is overwhelmed with the delicious flavor of rice.
The milky flavor derived from the acidity and the gentle bitterness make this sake more than just a strong sake.
I am glad that the sake has been aged in a refrigerator for six months to give it a finish that I like even more.
