I visited the other day
Oita Hita Inoue Sake Brewery, in a talk by Mr. Touji.
Here is "Kororo"!
The rich aroma had us smiling from start to finish!
The texture on the tongue is smooth and silky.
Enjoy the aroma!
The "aroma" is a scent that sake lovers can't get enough of!
I was in Kumamoto again on various business matters.
Since I had a companion who was a first-time Kumamoto bear, I had a glass of "Koroh" (hot sake) that I met at a restaurant recommended by the ladies at my usual tea shop in Sakuramachi (the owner had changed...).
My companion could not drink much, so she just licked it... It probably goes well with fatty yellowtail, but it had a delicious rice flavor, a sharp taste, and a blue flame that burned deep in the throat. It was a good drink.
I heard that this restaurant grows its own lemons, and the second picture is a sour made with the lemon (the first one I rushed to drink), so it has nothing to do with Ponzake, but the glass they put on the table was this one for me and "Musorashikabai (haha)" for my companion, who said "Oyaji, I know...". I am sorry for what was on my face.
The last in Shiba Park, also the first sake
Koroh, dark and mellow
Apparently, this brewery is the originator of Kumamoto yeast, Kiyo-kai No. 9 (the 9 is hidden on the label).
A little soft?
If you say so, it might be mellow 🤔.
But I don't think it's as sweet as the sake degree (-6.8, apparently).
Tokyo Tower at night is always cool 😉.
As the name suggests, it is a refreshing sake, but that is not all,
It is a refreshing sake, as the name suggests, but it is not only that, but also has a bitter-sweet taste.
This is my first time to drink Kumamoto, but I think it is quite good!

Umami and caramelized sweetness. It was better warmed than cold or lukewarm.
It is a classic rich type.
Rice polishing ratio→58%.
Alcohol content→15
Yeast → No. 9 (Kumamoto yeast)
This sake was given to me at a friend's house. I didn't have an image of Kumamoto as a sake brewery, but it is a delicious sake that is very easy to drink.
It is amakuchi, but it is smooth and has a nice sharpness. As the name "cool" suggests, it goes down your throat easily when drunk chilled. Most summer sake is light in flavor, in fact, many of them are lightly flavored, but this sake has a solid body. This is a long-established sake brewery that provided Nagareki No. 9 yeast. I feel that this brewery's most appealing feature is its thick core presence.
