Ridiculous gas pressure from the moment the bottle is opened.
It is so effervescent that you would think it was sparkling sake, and the aroma is explosive when you take a sip!
It has a fruity taste like lychee peach, but the sweetness disappears without leaving a lasting impression, so you can drink it without getting bored.
You can see why it is so hard to find!
A bubbly champagne like sake with apple and pear smell. A sweet sake with taste of apple, and a hint of cottage cheese kicks in as the temperature of the sake gets warmer. Also with umami and strong after taste. It is also very smooth. Great surprise!
Windfall of the Hozu purchased last summer 🏮.
The aroma is densely sweet and sour, like a lactic acid beverage.
When you drink it, you can also smell the sweet aroma of sizzling yogurt and molasses. The taste itself is clear, with a sharp sharpness through the throat. Relatively dry.
The next day, the aroma is still lactobacillus-like, but not so much when you drink it. The citrus acidity is stronger than the day before.
From there on, it moves toward a much cleaner taste, and bitterness also appears. It tastes good, but I think I preferred the second day.
As usual, my nose and tongue could not clearly distinguish the difference between the five no breweries.... The Go-No-Brew was still more complex and dense. I think so....

I received this after the Manwith concert 🐺.
As usual, the champagne was so soft and smooth 🍾.
The balance of sweet and sour is perfect.
Personal rating 8.0/10 points
I received the San-do no Kago Shi-no-shozo.
I love San-do, but this is the first sake made with rice other than Yamadanishiki.
When the bottle was opened, it was very energetic and leaked gas, just like San-do. When poured into a glass, it was slightly carbonated with bubbles and looked no different from the usual Yamada-Nishiki Ninonbrew.
However, the aroma was different. Sansho always has a fruity aroma, but Kako, as its name suggests, had a gorgeous aroma that took it to the next level. On the day when Kako was steamed at the brewery, the whole town could smell the aromatic rice.
Like the aroma, the taste was one tone more gorgeous than that of Yamadanishiki, and the acidity was a little less pronounced and the sweetness more pronounced.
This is subjective, but if Yamadanishiki has a refreshing grape-like nuance, Kako gives the impression of more mellow peach and berry fruits.
This sake is clearly different from Yamada-Nishiki, although it falls within the category of its local characteristics.
Personally, I think Yamadanishiki Ninonunomai is top class in terms of satisfaction/price, but if Kako's Ninonunomai was possible, it would have become a regular sake in my house, just like Yamadanishiki Ninonunomai.
Refreshing aroma of apple and muscat
Strong gassy sensation that spreads in a sizzling manner.
A sweetness reminiscent of honey spreads
Refreshing acidity comes in the latter half.
Finally, the Spring Nigorinpik has been successfully completed, so today is the big unleashing of the accumulated clear sake 🤣.
I've been storing it in my sake cellar at freezing temperatures, but I still have to open it as soon as possible or it will deteriorate 😅.
So for the time being, I'm going to open up the most important sake for me, as I cherish it too much to open the bottle 😇.
First up is my favorite shwashuwa sake, Sundo from Kumamoto Prefecture 😇.
The fruity aroma, the shwashiness in the mouth, and the crisp acidity match each other and really sink in deliciously 😀.
It's a pity that it runs out so fast thanks to its deliciousness, drinkability and low alcohol content of 13 degrees 🤣.
Good evening, Yasbaye 🌛I'm jealous that the first of the clarified liquors is the birthplace 😳I'm jealous that it's one of my favorite liquors 😌Schwashy, fruity and delicious🤤 and also surprised at the range of your liquor activity 😳
Good evening, Nao888 😀
Of course I love the taste of Sanso-san, but it is a sake that I am even more attached to😇.
I go all the way to Sayama for the main purpose of getting this sake🤣.
The train fare is going to cost more than the sake 🤣.
Good evening, Yasube-san!
The first clear sake is San-do Hoso - that's a quintessential example - you got a delicious sake exactly right ⤴️
San-do really is delicious, isn't it?
I haven't had Hozasu yet, so I'd like to try it someday 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 😀
I regularly go all the way to a liquor store in the south of the country to drink San-Do-San, and I think I can be thankful that I can drink it even if I have to go that far 😇.
I'm looking forward to finally getting a bottle of Kako, which I haven't had yet 😇.
