The very best of the very best, and even more so.
2019 vintage, 40,000 yen a bottle.
This mellow sweetness was superb!
My personal favorite.

High-end sake from Daishinshu Brewery
This is the first time I have heard of such a brand!
It is the same Kinmon-nishiki as Daishinshu, but it is different!

It was a very tasty sake.
The mouthfeel is thick and a little heavy.
The aroma of rice spreads in the mouth.
It had an alcoholic and sour taste in a good way.
Since I was sensitive to the ultra-harsh taste of Daishinshu, I got this "Kougetsu" nama-shu.
The aroma in the mouth is very nice.
It has a moderate acidity, but the impression is that it leaves a bit of sweetness in the mouth at the end.
I prefer a refreshing taste after swallowing, but this sake had quite a strong aroma and lingering aftertaste in the mouth.
In total, I think it is a very tasty sake. ☺️
The rich aroma is delicious. The sweetness of the rice will hit your stomach.
If your stomach is not ready for it, it will hit you hard, so it is best to drink it in the middle stage.
Second New Year's Party
The brand name "Kougetsu" is a very limited brand that is sold only at a handful of liquor stores among the sake breweries that carry "Daishinshu". It is sold at only a few stores in Japan.
Contract-cultivated rice Hitogochi 49 polished

I will have a celebratory sake given to me by my parents for my birthday.
It is Kougetsu from Daishinshu Sake Brewery🍶.
I've only had Daishinshu before,
This is my first time drinking Kougetsu 😲.
The aroma is fruity sweet deliciousness like apple.
It doesn't say but I wonder if it is No.7 yeast 🤔?
It seems like Daishinshu from the aroma.
It was bottled in January of this year,
Texture is also tasty.
When you sip it, you will feel a light sweetness on the tip of your tongue, followed by a mild spiciness,
The overall impression is fresh and elegant.
Overall, it is refreshing and elegant.
The good balance is probably due to the fact that it is a medium-bodied sake.
I've had it with salted squid, fuki miso, vegetables stewed in tsuyu, etc. and it's delicious ✨.
It is easy to match as it does not interfere as a food sake.

Alcohol content 16%.
We opened the bottle immediately.
The bottle was opened with a pop. It is white with a thin wisp of smoke. It has a fruity aroma. However, it did not last long.
The taste is mellow and slightly dry.
Since it is after Toyoga, it is a half octave higher than the softer Toyoga.
It is said that there are only a few stores in Japan that carry this brand, but the store owner explained that there are only 6 stores in Japan.
I didn't get a good look at the boxed Kougetsu because it was ridiculously expensive 😀.
Well, it's hot 🥵 in the morning again today.
I will enjoy the rest when I get home 😌.
