Sake aged for 5 years in sherry casks. Does it count as old sake? It already has a rich aroma of maturity and a rich taste like Shaoxing sake. It was served with a black truffle dish, and it was as mellow as the truffle aroma. I feel that the world of sake has expanded once again...

It appeared in a pairing at a fine French restaurant. It was served with a tofu dish. I saw this in an ANA in-flight magazine or an in-flight program, and it's made by the guy in charge of brewing Dom Perignon. I had wanted to try it, and I thought I had found it here. It is gentle, but has a long, long finish. The label doesn't say, but it's junmai. Assemblage is a technique used mainly in wine, right? I don't hear it often in sake. Is it a vintage of 2021? The label description sounds like wine.

When I ordered a pairing set at a fine French restaurant, it was served with Noto pumpkin millefeuille pie! This restaurant is not only wine oriented, but they also serve Japanese sake! When you put it in your mouth, you can imagine that the upper side is smooth, the lower side has a light acidity, and the aroma of rice lingers softly afterwards.
