Sommelier's comment

The 2005 unblended sake is blended with the 2003 unblended sake. Made by this company that has mastered blending techniques, this shochu has a sweet aroma typical of brown sugar shochu, a rich tea-like aroma, a slightly spicy taste, and a smoky aftertaste, making it pleasant to drink.
