7 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : rice (domestic rice), rice malt, brewing alcohol Sake meter : ±0 Alcohol percentage : 15 Acidity : 1.2 Rice polishing ratio: 65 Amino acidity: 1.6 Yeast: Kumamoto yeast (Kyokai No. 9) Store Hakata Motsu Nabe YAMAYA Sapporo Ekimae Dori Store Slightly apple-like aroma on the top. The same mild aroma as the first sip, the firm umami of rice spreads gradually with a plump sweetness and fine acidity, and is quickly quenched by the spiciness of the alcohol and a moderate bitterness. While the umami of the rice is firm, the dryness of the alcohol in the latter half makes it easy to drink. This sake has a somewhat classical impression. It is better to drink it with a meal than on its own. It goes well with motsu nabe and cod roe dishes.

I bought it in Kumamoto during my Shikoku - Kyushu - Kinki trip last year. It was a brand I wanted to try at least once, and I was so happy that I let it sit for more than a year. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it smelled like honey and custard. The mouthfeel is moist and sweet. It has a savory, caramel-like flavor and a balance of sweet and sour astringency. It is so delicious that you can't help but smile! The full-bodied sweetness and bitter astringency in the aftertaste. The taste is not too strong, but has a high level of quality, and is very similar to a pudding! I will never forget the delicious sake, ramen and Kumamoto Castle, even if it was only for a short time. I hope to visit again someday👍.

My favorite flavor! Sweet taste! It's burnt caramel, 🍮. I was so happy when I was told that there was a dewdrop in Kumamoto! I was so happy to be able to answer immediately 🐻. We finished with eel and eel liver skewers!
