The flavor of the rice is firm. and a refreshing aftertaste. The sweetness is moderate when the bottle is first opened. But as the day goes by, the sweetness comes on. Perfect with meat dishes.

The freshness of new sake with a fruity sweetness and a ginjo aroma. Fruity sweetness and ginjo aroma. It cuts cleanly, so it is easy to drink with food. It is easy to drink with a meal. Sake rice is Dewa Sanbaku, and the rice polishing ratio is 60%.

Kozaemon Junmai Ginjo Bizen Omachi Pile Driver Kozaemon, from Gifu Prefecture, is a draft sake! After much thought about how to bottle the sake They say it's called "Pile Driver". (Please look up the details.) Slightly effervescent, with a strong aroma. More sweetness than acidity. The sharpness is good, but the sweetness remains a little. It is very good to drink immediately after opening the bottle. I wonder if it changes a little if you drink it again after a day. I expect it will become an interesting drink after the freshness of micro-foaming is gone... Such a good sake! Kozaemon, a good sake from Gifu, Japan

Apple aroma. There is a sense of schwashiness. Unlike its appearance, there is almost no sweetness. After drinking it, you may feel a little bitterness, but it tastes good.

It was getting close to the time for the restaurant we had reserved 🍶 so we went to the second restaurant 🍶. We met up with the other members and it was time to get down to business😃. The first bottle at the second restaurant was Kozaemon's Sushi Label 🍣. Polishing ratio 65 15% alcohol by volume 100% Yamadanishiki It has been quite a while since I have had a sake from Gifu. It has a delicious rice flavor and acidity. It also has a nice sharpness. I had it with sashimi and sushi and it went well with them as the label says 🍣. Can't stop drinking sake with fish ✨.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. The golden duo was too good, and as a result, I drank too much that day and died the next day 🤢. Two of my juniors are dragging me into the sake swamp 😋👍.

Purchased at Nakajima Brewing's "Spring Banquet 2025". Slightly carbonated bubbles attach to the vessel. Not dry, this sake is gorgeous and easy to drink. It is my personal favorite. Brewer's comment: "Sake made with locally grown rice. An unfiltered, unpasteurized, jicagumi sake. It has a strong aroma and flavor, with a pleasant, chili-like, slightly carbonated aroma and flavor rich for a daiginjo, so it goes well with dishes with strong flavors, such as fried chicken, chili shrimp, and nameko mushrooms."
