This is a blend of 4 types of old sake made in 1973 (Year of the Ox), 1985 (Year of the Ox), 1997 (Year of the Ox), and 2009 (Year of the Ox), and 2000 to balance the taste. The aroma of the rice origin is hidden behind the whiskey-like aroma that is far from sake. Because it doesn't have as much alcohol as whiskey, only the good part of the aroma spreads softly in the mouth, leaving a clean impression in the short aftertaste. There is also a sweet and sour aftertaste. There is not much concept of this level of old sake or blending in sake, so it is difficult to tell how interesting this is. (To be honest, it's not my type either.) I thought it would be very interesting to enjoy slowly at New Year's or when you have time. If you heat it up too much, it's too stimulating, and if you heat it too little, the character stands out too much. It's easy to drink when heated to just under the skin.

The sharpness of the alcohol comes first, with a thin, fruity, gorgeous aroma lingering in the background. It is very easy to understand, light and dry. It has a gentle bitterness and a slightly long aftertaste. This is a bottle with almost no weaknesses, with all the strong points of a traditional sake appearing in abundance.

Yogurt (milk spirit) → sour cream, a little Yamahai-like aroma on top of a sharp sour aroma. You can feel the mellow flavor and enjoy the lingering aftertaste as if it were slowly flowing.

Shiraiwa Corporation IWA5 SAKE OF JAPAN It has a resinous and woody (cypress, etc.) aroma on the surface, but it also has a very complex aroma with a sour and refreshing feeling. It has the impression of a light white wine. In the mouth, the acidity and bitterness come in turn and harmonize with the aroma. The aftertaste is short and disappears quickly. This is the first wine that Richard Joffroy, the former chief brewer of Dom Péry, presented after his retirement. It has the complexity of a Western-style aroma, but the taste is of solid sake, a new sensation.

Purchased after 3 months of aging at Mochizuki Shoten. An elegant aroma of steamed rice spreads immediately after opening the bottle. It has a clear feeling without the so-called "Yamahai" feeling. The taste has the goodness of a solid Yamahai, but with the help of the short aftertaste, it gives a refreshing impression. As it warms up, fruity taste like melon or banana comes out.

Very little aroma. If I had to say, it has a clear aroma like natural carbonated water. The aftertaste is very short, with a strong sense of low-pitched gas and a hint of citrus sweetness. The aftertaste is very short and the astringency disappears quickly. When you smell it after a while, the gorgeous elements typical of Aizan finally appear.

It doesn't smell much when it's chilled. The impression is that the foam is strong and the oil is well drained even so far. I can feel the bitterness like grapefruit in the citrus. Even if it returns to room temperature, the aroma does not spread much. The aftertaste is short and fades quickly, and the low alcohol content of 14% means that there is little burden on the body.

Sumizue Special Junmai Sasanigori Nama Crisp, youthful muscat + melon aromas. It is very soft and smooth on the palate. Even as a new brew, the taste is remarkably clear and clear, leading to a slight astringency. The aftertaste is slightly persistent. I'm leaving a memorandum at sakenomy, but from now on, I'll write it here for saketaku's use as well.
