Soufflé minty, menthol-like aroma. The mouthfeel is sharp and crisp, with a sense of white grapes like a dry white wine. It also has a delicious flavor.
It was like a breeze blowing through on a hot summer day 🥃.
When you drink it with a boar's mouth, the mouthpiece is round and sweet 🍶.
The difference of sake cups is also interesting❗️
I like the label because it has a melancholy feeling. Yosui Inoue, the melody of my boyhood is playing in my head.
Hi Nanka Yokai 😃
Last year around this time, I was wondering about this one and another kumquat...oh...! I took you to try Kinkon Ichiban 🤗.
It was good too, but I'd like to try the dry white wine feeling 😋!
Aikoku" sake rice from the Meiji era, grown by contract farmers in the local Murata-machi area, has been reprinted.
Kenkunichi has the image of a sake brewery that values the flavor or depth of the rice.
This sake also has the distinctive characteristics of carefully brewed sake rice.
I tried it at room temperature to lukewarm, and I felt the depth and breadth of flavor at each temperature range.
Early summer greenery and fresh breeze...
We enjoyed it while remembering the thoughts of our predecessors, going back to the Showa period and even to the Meiji period.
The aroma that rises from the bottle is soft and gentle, with a fruity aroma. The elegance of the aroma, which is not too gorgeous, but easily blends into your mind, is impressive. The mouthfeel is gentle and smooth, and the robust umami spreads gradually. After a moderate sweetness, a light astringency and bitterness gently tightens the taste, and a sense of quiet balance pervades the entire wine.
Compared to the "Sake Mirai" unpasteurized sake from the same brewery, this one is more subdued and gives a sense of solidity. The aroma is also subdued and does not ruin the aftertaste of the meal, giving the impression of a gentle accompaniment.
It is a pleasant sake with a lingering aftertaste that gradually conveys the quality of careful sake brewing, rather than being flashy.
The soft and fluffy mouthfeel is followed by a subdued tone that gradually spreads the umami of the rice. As is typical of CSW limited edition sake, the fresh gassiness of the freshly pressed sake is pleasant and adds a light impression to the flavor.
It has a clean and crisp aftertaste, and is a perfect accompaniment to meals. The fullness of the flavor is more vibrant when drunk at a temperature slightly closer to room temperature, and not too cold.
It is not flashy, but it is of the "sober flavor" type that seems to seep in gradually. The quiet and sincere taste of this gentle bottle shows the brewery's serious attitude toward sake brewing.
Quite sweet! Maybe it would have tasted better if I drank it when it was a little colder... Maybe it's because it's getting hotter and I want something refreshing to drink.
