The modern term for Nanashitaru Nijukan is "Shizukusake. It is a costly and extravagant production method, and there was a superstition that sake breweries that produced this type of sake would go bankrupt. Ice aging is another feature of the sake brewing process. The sake is aged at a low temperature of -1 to -3 degrees Celsius for about six months, which allows the sake to mature more slowly than in the normal storage method, resulting in a rounded flavor with no corners. This method is a delicious way to preserve the fresh aroma and flavor of the sake before storage, while at the same time giving it a softness that new sake does not have.
I felt the alcohol in the divine lightning, so it was a palate cleanser. Soft and sweet aroma like muscat, juicy sweetness accented by seductive acidity with great presence. After all, Shinsei is good!
The label is distinctive and fantastic.
Taste is rough and polished, so it has a core and gusto that is typical of Japanese sake. It tastes a little alcoholic, and I prefer a more polished version.
