This is Aramasa's No.6, created by Yusuke Sato — known for his intense love of heavy metal — for an event held by Masanori Ito, a heavyweight of the heavy metal world. The sheer effort put into the bottle design conveys just how much passion Sato poured into it, and even the pamphlet's comments are more talkative than usual. Named "Beast" — the polar opposite of Aramasa's usual image — this sake belongs to the astringency-driven "Mizuno Manabu type" lineage. One sip and you won't forget it: a flavour that leaves a scar on your memory.
