A little sourness comes at the beginning, but you can feel the flavor of the rice, and the aftertaste is not so lingering. The impression is light, but it's good. Too bad you can only buy it in a bottle: 70%, Junmai, Osananishiki, about 2800 yen, Otsuka sake shop in Honmachi.
Please excuse my comment. I love Kikutaka, and I've been wandering around looking for it. If it is possible, could you please tell me which liquor store you purchased it from? If it is difficult to answer, please let me go.
Good evening.
I found this at Morimasa Shoten in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture.
When I searched for it on Google Maps, I saw it in a picture taken a year ago, so I rushed to buy it.
When I got there, there were two bottles of Junmai Ginjo left in the refrigerator.
I couldn't resist and drank it with my son.
It's refreshing and has a slight sweetness that doesn't linger. It has a sour taste and is very addictive.
I'll buy another bottle tomorrow.
At Japanese bar Kotonagushi. When heated, it has a gentle mellowness that's hard to describe, and it's irresistible. It's easy to drink cold with just the right amount of umami, but I prefer it heated.
4 days after opening the bottle, delicious!
What is it? Deep and soft taste!
It's not a traditional sake, but it's good for heating.
It's not a traditional sake, but it's a nice warmed sake.
Juicy and full of acidity!
Kikutaka for the second time.
I wish I had known about this brand sooner!
It's the first day of opening the bottle, so the acidity still has a bit of an edge.
But the flavor is good enough.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the taste changes from tomorrow.
The last Kikutaka brewed by Toji Katsuaki Yamamoto is heated and aged for two years to an amber color. The sourness, umami, and richness make it a perfect cup... Mmmm... delicious!
Drinking it cold, I wondered if the rumoured Kikutaka was like this.
I was a little disappointed that it was the latest fad, but
I was surprised when I heated it up.
It's delicious!
This sake is not sweet or dry.
I realized that this is what umikuchi is all about.
It is sour and juicy.
It's delicious. It's really delicious.
Aged, raw, Yamahai, Honjozo.
This sake is a combination of all the best parts!
The umami, the sweetness of the rice, and the richness that only aged sake can provide!
The tangy taste of the brewed alcohol that tightens it up is the best match.
It's sad that there is no more Kikutaka.
It's a sake I want to buy up ^_^!
Toku-san, if you're from Osaka, I'll tell you where you can buy it ^_^.
It's 29BY nama-matured sake, but there is a hidden shop that sells it at a fixed price. lol
Taki.
Nice to meet you. I live in Osaka, and I was wondering if you could tell me about some of the famous hidden restaurants. I love Yamahai. Thank you for your time.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately, it is difficult to visit because I live in Saitama, but I like the liquor store tour itself, and since it is a good opportunity, I looked at the HP. The sake of the handling, it was not a feeling that it was a selling specialty, and I had a good feeling ( ^ω^ )
Thank you very much. I also looked at the website, but there are many brands that look good, not only Kikutaka.
I'll visit there once during the winter.
I bought a set of one Yogo bottle and five 1-sho bottles that I won't know until they arrive. One of the bottles.
Mild on the palate. It's an old-fashioned sake with a solid taste. It may not be to everyone's taste, but for me, it's ★★☆☆☆!
I bought it at a certain local liquor store at a fixed price. I had it at room temperature first. It has a citrusy sourness and a hint of aged caramel flavor. Very tasty. Next, I had it warmed up, and the acidity spread and the flavor doubled. It was a delicious sake after all. The label is quaint and nice too!
