Today's sake and sakana(snack)

Ozasaya Taketsuru Daiwa Omachi 16BY(2004)

This sake is the colour of straw.
At room temperature the aroma is faintly reminiscent of rice. The taste is of warm rice and clean on the palate with a hint of pineapple around the edges. On swallowing it leaves a slightly sharp after taste that melts away.
At 40C this sake has a pleasant mellow flavour with more pineapple. It gives a strong hit immediately which remains after swallowing.
We have only 5 bottles left and the new stock will be 20BY(2008).
