I bought it because it was one of the sake I wanted to drink even though the shipping cost was close to the reputed Ni-Rabbit Sake-Dai. When I opened the bottle, I heard a pop. The name "Ni-Toshi" was chosen because it has two contradictory qualities: flavor and aroma, acidity and umami, heavy and light, sweet and spicy, entry and finish, complexity and cleanliness. It has a gentle and pleasant feeling on the palate. It is my favorite Omachi. I can understand the "two hares" name. I can't complain about the taste, even with the shipping cost included. I would like to try other sake made from other rice. When I looked online, it was already sold out.
Purchased this sake because I wanted to try a sake from Tochigi Prefecture other than Sengoku. This sake is made with Kumamoto Prefecture's pride and joy, Karo yeast (mostly No. 9 yeast). Dry, mellow, taste cuts off smoothly, matured at less than 5 degrees Celsius.
