48% polished rice
The pungent aroma is strong, but what is this aroma?
The sweetness is strong and lingers.
I would prefer it to be a little more refreshing, but it is still delicious... It is a 300ml bottle, so it was gone immediately (laugh).
I got it at the Tochigi prefecture antenna store under the Skytree during my trip to Tokyo last month.
I lost the price.
It has a heavy rice flavor and a robust mouthfeel.
It seems to be a good food sake.

Next time, let's go for special junmai!
I thought it was my first time to drink Asahi Koh, but I don't remember where the first time was, and the second time was at Sendai Ami.
A little unfamiliar brand!
Although it was labeled as dry, it was the most acidic of the three.
When I compared the labels of all three types of sake, I found that they were all made by a sake brewery in Ohtawara City, Tochigi Prefecture.
There were also Ten-Taka and Kyokko in the list of sake breweries in Nasu, which we found at a roadside station on the way to the restaurant.
We drank a little while eating Tochigi Wagyu beef, Sangenbuta pork and vegetables!

Finally, tomorrow is the Niigata Sake Festival!
When I arrived at work today, my nose suddenly stopped running from the left side of my nose, so I immediately sterilized it with alcohol after leaving work.
Here is the alcohol used for sterilization.
It was purchased at Kinase, a local sake brewery in Mito, in January. I was curious about this brand because Mr. Mashidaya recommended it in SakeLabo's Tochigi trip (I heard that Mr. Kai of SakeLabo was at the Hakkaisan booth in the sake camp!) ).
The aroma is mild. The aroma is mild, with a freshness that can only come from direct pumping, and a refreshing aroma that reminds me of ramune.
In the mouth, there is an overwhelming sense of vinegar etchiness. It has a light dry taste with a cemedine-like flavor. It has a light dry taste with a freshness that comes from the direct pumping and a slight umami and sweetness of rice.
I paired it with sea bream sashimi, imagining the taste of Asahi Kohshin, and it was a big hit. The fatty, yet light flavor of the sea bream was a perfect match for the sake, which was light but retained the flavor of the rice.
As we drank more, the temperature rose and a creamy, elegant, deep sweetness emerged. We were convinced that heated sake was the answer. After boiling the water, we turned off the heat and soaked the sake in the tokkuri for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
Lukewarm heating overwhelmingly brings out the umami of the rice and the fullness of flavor. When served with an egg omelet that has not yet been rolled, the flavor of the omelet is overwhelmingly pronounced.
This is a true testament to Kyokko's value as a food sake.
