The second cup was a junmai sake from Kurume, Fukuoka called "Yamazan no Kotobuki". This sake also has a delicious taste. It goes well with stewed octopus.
Sunday night has come again this week 😭
I can say that it's atrocious... but the only way to recharge my energy for tomorrow is to drink 🤣 lol
Well, tonight we have Good Times Night Sessions from Yamanotobuki in Fukuoka 🌃.
I thought I've had this drink before, but it was half a year ago 💧.
Oh well, the days go by too fast 😨... 😨.
Well, before I spend too much time on the scale, I quickly opened the bottle ❗️ lol😆.
The aroma is not that strong, just a hint of fruity 🤔.
Now let's get to it 🤤...
I'm not sure if it's the smokiness or the bitterness or the bitterness... ἤ... ἤ...
Personally, I don't think I'll have it next time😅.
I think it's a food wine in terms of taste...
I don't mean to be harsh, but it's a shame that it tastes a bit half-baked when drunk cold...
I think it would be better if it were heated up, so I'll give it a try after tomorrow. 🙂↕️
Day 2: 🗒️
Not much change in cold sake 🤔.
So...heated sake 🍶.
It's less peculiar and more like a dry mid-meal sake: ❗️
Personally, I definitely prefer this one ✨.
I miss oden 🍢 😆.
9.4
The initial aroma is citrus-driven, with a refreshing lactic acidity.
In the mouth, medium sweetness, strong acidity, and fruity flavors reminiscent of citrus fruits such as yellow and orange spread out, followed by bitterness and a touch of alcohol.
It finishes with a sharp sharp finish, but the bitterness and alcohol taste remain in the aftertaste.
The citrus and alcohol taste is the main taste. It is a bit more on the mid-palate side, but the sweetness is also strong, and it is delicious on its own.
There is also a bit of a rummy aftertaste.
I thought it would be too dry for a retarded drinker, but it wasn't that bad. It was sharp, clean and refreshing with some bitterness and spiciness, which I don't like, but it was drinkable.
Alcohol: 13%.
The tag "Bubble Foam Method" was attached to the bottle, so I mistakenly assumed it was a soursop💦.
It is said to be "Yamazato's original method to trap the bubbles created during the fermentation process inside the bottle"...
It wasn't bubbly, but it was sweet and delicious!
I kept it in the fridge for a while after I bought it.
I opened the bottle to drink it in the summer.
It has a nice, light bubbly taste. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
It has just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness.
It is a very tasty sake that goes well with summer.
I forgot to take a back shot, so I'll do it again when I get a chance!
The aroma doesn't rise much.
Smooth, soft texture, delicious flavor.
Somewhat like coconut juice, light and juicy.
Clear mouthfeel.
It is comfortable and easy to drink.
Dry and crisp.
Taste level 3.5/5
At the Storehouse Town Gotoh in Hakata, Japan.
You can feel the texture of koji a little.
Sour and sharp.
The sourness comes through even when it is heated.
It is delicious.
Paired with a small pot of albacore.
Date of production: November 2024
