This is one of the super-limited "Occasional" series, which focuses on unfiltered, unfiltered sake brewed only once a year by Kangiku Meikyu. The rice is polished to 29% and made from Chiba-grown rice.
Focusing on "scenes" and "feelings," this series of unfiltered sake is brewed only once a year to add color to everyday life (special moments).
The characteristics of Chiba's "So-no-Mai" rice are that it has a large heart white and is suited to high refining. It is also known as "Sou-no-Mai" in Japan,
This "light sake" is a well-balanced fusion of the juicy taste of fruit, which at first glance does not seem high in the sense of high refining, and the clearness of the sake, which has none of the cloying taste of high refining.

After the vat is filled, the oli is drawn off and the sake is left to mature in cooled and refrigerated tanks. It is a limited edition sake, released only once a year at the end of the year, and bottled by hand directly from the tanks. It has a mildly ripe, mellow, raw flavor and a thick texture. Aroma of melon and acidity make this a perfect mid-meal sake.

Limited edition sake once a year
Only the best Yamada-Nishiki from the Tojo district of Hyogo Prefecture is used, and only from the limited area of Okamoto Village. This luxurious bottle is made as a light nigori sake with a seasonal flavor. The simple label gives a stylish and sophisticated impression.
It still has the firm gaseous sensation that is typical of Moriboshi. When the bottle is opened, there is a loud popping sound and a waft of smoke rises from the bottle mouth. Floating softly in the air is a sweet and pleasant aroma that gives a clear impression.
The mouthfeel is smooth, and every time the rich gas that stimulates the palate pops, the light sweetness, mild umami, and refreshing bitterness that beautifully finishes it all spread out in a perfect balance.
While the taste has a certain thickness, it has a refined and sharp texture, which converges with a clear sharpness when swallowed. It has a beautifully balanced finish.
An easy-drinking, refined bottle with a seasonal feel. It goes very well with meals and can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes including Japanese cuisine.

For the first time in several years, I visited a brewery that offers a service to store new sake at low temperatures until it rounds out!
I asked if they had the same service and they happened to share one of their bottles in stock!
Both fresh and mellow tastes are cousins😎.
