Red It's true! I can see why this one is more expensive! Maybe it's dense! It has a slight sweetness to it, too! Not as upper jaw as the fruity one! It's slightly sweet and easy to drink! I can feel the spiciness on my upper jaw though!

Yellow. I understand the description of this one as "fruity"! It's a one-cup, so it has a refreshing taste, but the Ozeki one-cup I just had was much more refreshing and spicy! I wonder if this one has a softness in the mouth and then spreads? I can tell it's fruity even when I go back to it!

I get drunk after half a cup, so I have a little bit every day and am almost finished with it. It was delicious! A friend recommended heating sake, so I think I'll try heating it up at the end. The moment I put it in my mouth, there was a spiciness from the alcohol, and at first I didn't feel any sweetness, but after a little over a month, I started to feel the sweetness. It's interesting how the same sake can be perceived differently depending on your physical condition and food.

Since it is called "dry," it seemed to have a bit of a lingering aftertaste. Personally, I like dry sake, so it was to my liking, but it was not as deep as I would have liked, and it went down easily. It is easy to drink, which may be one of my favorites in the market.

The top aroma was of pure rice and brown rice. When it was drunk, it had a dry taste with a full-bodied, rich, slightly astringent flavor. The overt aroma had a fruity feel. The alcohol content was strong at 19%, and the can said that it could be drunk on the rocks, so I tried it on the rocks. I think it is best to drink it on the rocks while eating. It went well with Hotto Motto's Katsu-don (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice) and petit puff pastry. Niigata rice Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol 19%.

1934 2025/8 Kikusui Anaguchi Ichiban Shibori Honjozo Nama-no-genshu 70% Niigata rice 19° 25/5 A+ Kikusui Shuzo, Shinobata City, Niigata 200 340 I had ordered a bottle of sake, but it hadn't arrived, and the local liquor store was already closed. I used to drink this sake many times on my way home from business trips, but this is the first time for me to record it. I was very happy to find that I could not enjoy such a powerful and drinkable sake with low alcohol content. It is a pure rice sake (?) with a high alcohol content even if it is more alky than the original. I would like to try a little more high alcohol content pure sake.
