Purchased in Kochi City during a trip to Shikoku.
I wanted to buy a sake made with CEL-24 yeast to take home with me when I bought Kochi sake, and after much deliberation, I bought Tosa Shiragiku, which had a fashionable label.
I got curious and looked up that the label design was of a flower called Iberis, which is called "Candytuft" (a bunch of sugar candy).
Now, let's taste it.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%.
The aroma is fruity and pineapple-like, typical of CEL-24 yeast.
The taste is sweet and sour with a strong acidity.
It is an easy-drinking sake with a gorgeous sweet taste that slowly permeates the palate.
It is my personal favorite taste.

Dinner at home.
This summer has seen an unusually good catch of fatty bonito.
The Pacific bonito from Hokkaido and Sanriku is often sold inexpensively at the supermarket I frequent.

The same day, after work, I was having a drink at home. I bought some after work that day, and decided to open a bottle of sake.

Kochi Trip - Day 2
We finally got to try some sake!
We went to a restaurant we couldn't get into on our previous trip.
Delicious sake and food made me happy!
[I want to be there for a little while longer 😍]
Furusato tax return gift from Geisei City, Kochi Prefecture😄.
The price of the bottle is over 3,000 yen if you buy it normally, so the more you buy, the more useful the Furusato tax payment is 😁.
The aroma is melon-like, with a gentle sweetness spreading from the attack and a very smooth mouthfeel 😋.
Sweet but not too sweet, soft spiciness with little acidity gives it a clean crispness, amazingly delicious... 😳😳😳😳
It was so delicious that once I started drinking it, I couldn't stop and drank more than 3 gou of it at once 😂.
I almost finished it, though my rationality was just barely triggered...
I've been thinking I've been gaining weight lately and it makes sense when I look back at the food in the picture so often (smiles).
Mouth opening.
Low alcohol content.
Chemical banana aroma.
It is fresh and refreshing.
The taste is sharp,
The sharp taste is followed by the presence of the umami of rice in the back.
The aroma is soft and then fades away.
It is delicious. Good drinking comfort.
My favorite 4/5 stars.
Purchased at Kochi Antenna Shop in KITTE Osaka ☝️
I have been wanting to try this brand for a long time.
It is not cuttingly spicy, but it is crisp and dry with a delicious rice flavor 😊.
