Kushira's standard hi-iru pure rice sake.
We recently climbed Mt. Katsuragi in Yamato, took a bath at the summit lodge, toasted with beer, and then had a great sake from the Gosho ✨✨The duck hot pot was also great ✨✨.
The entrance is modest, the aroma is almost imperceptible.
In the mouth, the dry and light taste of the rice is discreetly and gently felt on the palate. The finish is dry and refreshing.
The clear mouthfeel is accompanied by the simple umami of rice. There is no unnecessary aroma or sweetness, but only a pure, slightly umami taste and dry sharpness that is easy to understand 🍶.
Incidentally, "Kushira" is the name of a place in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, where Chiyo Shuzo is located, and this sake is made using only Yamadanishiki grown in Kushira.
To be honest, the dryness of this classic sake is not my favorite flavor, but it was a great experience to drink a sake made with local sake and water in the place where it was made ✨✨.
It will be the new Kushira🐳 sake that I drank on my trip to Nara last year.
The first aroma has a slight refreshing acidity.
When opened in the mouth, it has a refreshing acidity with a slight carbonation and a light and moderate sweetness and umami.
When I drank it at Jyoi, maybe because I had less than a third of the bottle left, I didn't feel the slight carbonation, and the acidity was mild and mellow overall, but the freshly opened sake had a refreshing acidity that was delicious in its own right ✨.
Shinomine and Kushira seem to have a lot of sakes with a characteristic sourness, so I'd like to try a variety of them.
Nakadori Unfiltered Nama Sake
Polishing ratio 66%, alcohol 16%.
Kushira" is brewed with Yamada-Nishiki grown in-house by Chiyo Shuzo, the brewer of "Shinomine".
The aroma is subdued. The aroma is subdued, and the taste is gaseous and dry.
My first brand
Seems to be the same brewery as Shinomine.
The label is too shibu! It's a little too 👍.
The aroma is very subtle.
Almost none😅
This lack of aroma makes it easy to pair with food.
In a good way, it goes down like water!
80% polished rice, but no bitterness and clean finish 👍
I love Shinomine, but this brand is new to me.
It is a little low in alcohol, but has a full and robust flavor.
It has just the right amount of gas and sweetness.
The finish is bitter and spicy.
This one is delicious too. ❣️
