This sake is made from a Junmai sake that has been matured for 25 years, giving it a mellow taste profile and depth.
The lees/sediment generated during aging have been racked off to leave just the clear part called uwazumi.
Despite its deep color, it doesn't feel heavy and will keep you returning for another sip.

Tasting comments

Nobuhiro Ueno
(Juku to Kan Bar Master / Permanent Director of the Toki Sake Association)Composed of raisins, roasted sweet potatoes, burnt soy sauce, and a baking soda-like and complex aroma. In the taste, you can feel the aroma of roasted sweet potato skin, prunes, and large raisins. Feels like it could be paired with Japanese or Western desserts for a surprising flavor experience.

Hidekazu Ishiwata
(Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)Dark brown. It opens with a soy sauce aroma and burnt notes.
The retronasal aroma is gentle and sweet.
There is astringency in the mouth, and it is firm and crisp.

Akiko Toda
(Director of ITTEKI, Japan Sake and Meat Research Institute)Beautiful clear red color. The refreshing scent is reminiscent of plums and apricots. Interestingly in the mouth, the aroma becomes deeper, and a scent goes up your nose like that which you get when you bite into a tomato. Even though it has been aged for 25 years, it still maintains a very light impression.

Yuji Yamauchi
(Yushima Tenjinshita Sushi Hatsu 4th generation / 1st JSA SAKE DIPLOMA competition winner)It reminds me of dry berries, but has the gentle flavor and richness of rice.
Mellow nuances reminiscent of whisky, with elements of raisins.
