This is a very unpretentious jizake from Shizuoka. We bought it at a local supermarket in Hamamatsu and didn't notice that it was over a year old. We opened it with little expectation as an accompaniment to a Japanese hot pot. It was pretty respectable: intense nose of dried fruits and narazuke, rice flavour, slight sweetness and a spicy finish. We heated it and were very satisfied. Nice umami and pronounced mineral notes.
