Whoo nice, not too sweet, not too aroma, comfortable delicious

I just learned the deliciousness of sake, so enjoyed fresh, drunk within a year, don’t know the taste of ageing sake.
However, since this a half of year aged sake had a calm taste, I was also interested in the matured taste after over a year.

Cave ageing sake

The brewery makes aged sake for owners that contract between 5 to 20 years.
This ageing’s sake is stored in a cave. It is the perfect natural resource for aging sake to keep annual temperature is around 10°C, no sunlight.
Additionally, doesn’t it sound mysterious?

Cave dug during World War II

This cave was toward to produce tanks but was never used for it.
and has not been used at all for a long time.
In 2007, The cave was reborn as an aging cellar by the owner of Shimazaki Sake Brewery.

Now a days, it is designated as a modern cultural heritage site of Nasukarasuyama City.
