I bought this as a souvenir of my summer vacation trip to Ise. It was only available at the Ise Jingu branch. The taste was delicious and undeniable, just like the original.
This sake brewery is located in Terauchi-machi, Kashihara City, where my parents live, and has been around since the Warring States Period. It was a delicious sake with a robust rice flavor, the very definition of sake.
Well, it was delicious. It may be the No.1 among the ones I have purchased so far. It has a more umakuchi (flavorful) taste, more like Omachi. It tastes better after a long time than when it is freshly opened. The same brewery also produces Kame-no-o sake, so I would like to try that next time.
Mr. Sugiura himself came to a local supermarket and sold a pre-order set with sake lees.
It was a really delicious sake, with a slight effervescence, melon-like sweetness, and a subtle taste that lingers on the tongue after drinking it all. However, I preferred the sake lees to the Umenoyado that I usually buy. This was my debut purchase of nama-shu, so I am sure that my choices will be expanding in the future.
Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store Uehonmachi at the end of the year as part of a tasting. It has sweetness, richness, and a clean aftertaste. It was very tasty.
