The aroma is a little floral for a Kochi sake, but that's Kochi sake for you. The aroma quickly fades away, leaving behind a mild umami and a spiciness that is not too much, making it a refined Kochi sake. Perfect with sashimi and boiled vegetables. It is delicious.

This is Nara's unfiltered, unpasteurized sake! It is so umami-guchi that one is surprised that it is possible to make such a strong flavorful sake with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone). Dry sake and ginjo sake are also good, but they are both umami-guchi. The aftertaste is also enjoyable for a long time. The first time you put it in your mouth, it smells like sakekasu (sake lees), which is a little strange, but it is just like Nara sake. It's delicious! Though the sake is a bit too much when paired with sashimi.

Delicious! The umami, sourness, and sweetness come with a bang, and surprisingly, everyone leaves after the first round, leaving only a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. It tastes like a model of umami-guchi. The acidity is strong for a Shiga sake. I don't think it goes well with sashimi, but I think it can be served by itself or with a wide range of simmered and grilled dishes. I just don't know where to go to drink it 😂.
