［After the crab dinner, we went back to "Sakeba Maruko" for another round of drinks (3).
For my third drink, I ordered a "Kikumori" sake, which I thought I had had a "Taxi Driver" before but could not find a review of it 🍶.
Kikumori Junmai Nigori Viktor Nage to Kneecap 🍶🍶.
When I first started drinking sake from all over the country, I thought "what's this name? When I started drinking sake from all over the country, I thought, "What is this name?
I heard it was a special combo of the brewer who used to be a martial arts fighter 🤔.
The aroma of light lactic acid bacteria drink, the gas feeling on the tip of the tongue, the clean sweetness, the punchy umami, the sharpness, and the firm bitterness that remains in the end....
It has a beautiful umami taste that betrays the "fake" name, and its refreshing bitterness seems to go well with any meal.
Keihan Department Store Moriguchi Sake Festival ④
I didn't ask for it, but the booth staff kindly allowed me to taste it 🙏.
I was surprised to hear a champagne-like sound when I started drinking the set and saw that this sake was open 😳 I didn't know it had such a strong gas!
I think I drank it 6-7 years ago, but I don't remember the taste.
It has a strong gassy taste. It's also very complex and sweet.
They said the taste and gassiness changes every year 🙄.
It's #6 yeast and it tastes bland, like new●.
Keihan Department Store Moriguchi Sake Festival ①.
I went to this event, which was held at the same time as the Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival, after hearing a lot of information from Nemuchi, who participated on Thursday, the first day of the event 😁.
Tohoku Wakuwaku Marche booth
I visited there first because there was a sake I was interested in.
There was no sake tasting, only sales, but I was told that I could drink sake sold at the adjacent sake bar corner, so I ordered a set of sake to compare.
The first one was Kikumori, which I don't usually drink.
It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, and the rice is Yunokou.
Complex and caramel-like sweetness.
I thought it would be more difficult to drink, but it was delicious 😋.
You like to drink, cab drivers and all that!
This is sake, too! Aroma of straw, a hint of sweetness, and spiciness. Sweetness with spiciness. The spiciness lingers in the aftertaste.
Kikumori Junmai Genmai Taxi Driver, No.6
Kikumori from Iwate
Cab Driver is a famous(?) brand with impact. It is a well-known representative brand.
It is said that the specs change with each brewing...
This is brewing No.6
Rice is Kakehashi, Yeast is Kyokai No.6
The yeast is "Reimei Hiraizumi".
Reimei Hiraizumi is... a unique koji mold in Iwate.
The taste is well-balanced.
Aroma is fresh, sweetness and acidity are good.
And it finishes well.
Sake that you will never get tired of drinking! It's like a good sake that you never get tired of drinking!
I think it is better to drink it at room temperature rather than chilled to feel 120% of its full potential.
I love Kikumori!
Kikumori Junmai Sake Toyonishiki 55
Kikumori with impactful impression in Takudora
Such Kikumori Toyonishiki 55
Refreshing aroma and gentle acidity.
Slightly astringent, umami and sharpness that comes afterwards
It has a classical taste with an edge.
That is my impression.
Very good sake!
