This is the first time I have had a bottle of Yamanohisu from Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
It is a black-labeled dry type, fresh, with a moderate sweetness, and a dry, lingering dryness in the mouth. It is refreshing and easy to drink, making it a perfect accompaniment to gyoza (Chinese dumplings),
Recommended by the manager of my favorite liquor store.
It is easy to drink and goes down well.
I don't usually drink Fukuoka sake, but it was delicious.
We drank it as a family and it ran out quickly.
Degree of alcohol 13%.
The people around me asked me if it was sake? It is indeed a modern sake with a citrus-like freshness and a refreshing sweetness. It is indeed a modern sake with a refreshing sweetness like citrus, and may go well with oily foods such as Chinese cuisine. I'm in the midst of a boom in my life. The packaging is also nice.
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 😊.
