きこり
This sake is made by Morikuni, the only sake brewery on Shodoshima.
As soon as you open the bag, the aroma of Japanese cypress spreads through the air.
(It's a secret that I, a naive person, was surprised to know that sake smells like this even without opening the bottle...! It's a secret between us that I was surprised.
The first sip comes directly from the bottle. (I'm sure it's bad manners.)
The flavor is popular among women, so it's sweet and easy to drink.
Now, from here on, it's poured into Hinoki Masu.
I was confused as to where to put my mouth.
The fresh smell of cypress goes through your nose when you take the first step to sip it, and the atmosphere becomes luxurious at once.
The image is that of a high-class, long-established ryokan.
It was an experience that opened a new door for me to drink sake from Hinoki masu, and I felt like I had climbed the stairs to adulthood.
These are the miscellaneous impressions of a sake beginner.
