Impression: Light and dry.
While it has the sharp sharpness of a super-dry sake, it also has the smoothness and elegant fruity aroma of a 33% polished rice daiginjo. The aroma is delicate without being too flashy. The soft touch of Ogawa yeast and the high alcohol content coexist in a well-balanced manner, giving it a classical yet modern impression. A super dry daiginjo that looks great with food.
Pairing impression:
I paired it with hamo tempura, and it was a good match that drained off the oil in a flash.
Repeat Score (1-3): 2.0
For the fifth cup, we talked about "something crisp and refreshing for summer," so I selected "Bakuren!
It was sharp with a light dry taste. It was light, dry, and sharp, with a hint of muscat flavor. The crisp sharpness was perfect with a meal, and it was so delicious that I could drink it without hesitation ✨.
It went well with pork shabu-shabu and chilled tofu, and I was surprised by the super-hot taste for a short while. ✌️
Here it is, the rainbow-colored baked goods. The aroma is muscat-like, with a sweet mouthfeel. The sharpness and lingering aftertaste. It is dry, but there is no sense of alcohol and it is really good! And at this price. I will repeat this every year.
We got it again this year👏.
Rainbow colored baked goods.
If you can buy it, it's in a bottle!
This year it's a black bottle.
The Kudo series is the best in terms of cost performance, but Bakuren is even better,
but Bakuren goes above and beyond👍.
When I see this rainbow-colored Bakuren,
I feel that it is July.
It is as sharp as ever.
No matter what you pair it with on a hot day, it has a wonderful sharpness that makes you feel refreshed.
It is a great drink to make you feel refreshed no matter what you drink on a hot day.
The price is also very wallet-friendly.
I respect Kamenoi Sake Brewery after all.

Kudokibe has an image of brewing sweet and tasty sake. However, this is a dry series from such a sake brewery, Bakuren. How does it taste? Let's get down to it!
The aroma is just like Kudokutei as usual, with a very strong and gorgeous sweet and refreshing aroma like muscat and Japanese pear. This must be a sweet sake. With this in mind, I smoothly poured in some soft brewing water and found that it had a hint of muscat, but also had a mild umami, acidity, and a rather strong sharpness, with a good dryness that pierced the back of my throat and left no aftertaste. This would be a wonderful sake to enjoy as it brings out the best of the umami flavor while killing the smell of the light sashimi.
This is too good to be true. I would like to have it again next year. If you want to enjoy fruity sake but don't want to kill the goodness of Japanese food, give it a try.
And a request to Kamenoi Shuzo. Can you please make all the products in the Bakuren series in four-pack bottles?
And now that I have made my request, I would like to thank you again for the food and drink tonight!
