It has a subtle sweetness at the moment of drinking, followed by a sake-like umami taste.
It is a sake that goes down smoothly because of its 13% alcohol content, and it is the kind of sake that keeps you going from one drink to the next. I didn't like the Freaks I had before, but I like this one 🫤.
I thought it would be fruity because of the label and the fact that it is a draft sake, but it is quite dry. It has a grapefruit-like freshness, astringency, and acidity.
Light! It has a strong sake-like character, but is a really easy-drinking gem. It has no peculiar taste, and it may be different, but it tastes like a slight lactic acid aftertaste. Slightly carbonated.
The seventh cup, Yamazato Kotobuki, whose label caught my attention!
I did not recognize the aroma, but the sake had a petit gas, a soft silky feeling of orikara, citrus acidity, and a light fresh feeling.
March 20, the middle day of the Spring equinox, we went to visit graves.
We traveled from Sendai to Ishinomaki, then from Ishinomaki to Sendai via Kami, and finally to Sendai, a triangular 150km trip within the prefecture.
On the way, we enjoy visiting a local sake shop and a ramen shop that we have frequented for more than 30 years. This is a familiar course that we always stop by on the far shore of the equinoxes and during the Bon festival.
In the middle of the tour, we brought back a bottle of Kotobuki from the mountain.
It does not have a lot of aroma, but as advertised, it has a clear, dry taste with a strong umami flavor. It is a good sake with a light acidity and bitterness, so you will not get tired of drinking it.
Don't abuse it, it's just a sake word.
〜When it has umami, you can look forward to visiting graves!
Thank you very much for your kindness!
The Good Times series is a personal favorite. This one is also delicious. Not much aroma. Slightly tangy taste with a hint of sour strawberry. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
Whenever I see Good Times, I just have to order it 😅.
I found it less sweet than the Winter Session 🤔.
It had a pear aroma, just a little gassy and sharp, it was delicious 😊.
The brand name is said to be "Yamazan no Kotobuki," but details are being withheld.
The question "What is this? is a quaint way of asking you to think about it and try to guess it.
You can find more information with the QR code.
The one I drank this time was fruity and refreshing.
It was delicious!
But I couldn't find the details because the QR code had expired lol.
The jacket is extremely unsettling, but it does not have a modern feel, and the orization is moderate, with a clean orization that is typical of Fukuoka.
It has a mild umami flavor and can be served as a food sake.
No, rather, it is more likely to be enjoyed with food than as a stand-alone sake, as it complements each other and is delicious.
However, it is not so good that it surpasses others. It is tasty, though.
On Friday, I thought I'd sort out the liquor I'd accumulated since I'd finished a big job.
Here is what I drank before.
I've seen this Yamanokotobuki many times in Sake-no-wa. I've been watching your posts with sympathy, and now I'm finally posting this.
The sourness that comes first and the bitterness that follows are pleasant, giving the impression of a grapefruit-like sake.
I was thinking, "What's that? It's the one that makes you say "it's already gone" 😅.
One of the brands I've been interested in recently is Yamazato Kotobuki.
I finally came across it 🍶.
It has a nice and exciting label 🌸.
Slightly effervescent and easy to drink.
The aroma, according to the liquor store, is muscat. Indeed, it is.
Slightly sweet, not thin but light overall. And it is hot and sour. To put it bluntly, it is a light version of Akirika's super-hot sake, except for the aroma.
It is interesting because of its originality. It is a sake that I always like to have on hand. It is a raw sake with a rice polishing ratio of 70% and an alcohol content of 13 degrees Celsius. Could this be a great sake?
The second glass was a spring sake from Kurume's local brewery, Yamabusyu.
It is not too sweet and has a light citrus flavor. 🙆♂️
The entrée was a pickled horse mackerel with a hint of spring, and it was delicious!
