First time in October, I drank at home. Bought it at a local supermarket. It starts out fruity and citrusy, and gradually becomes more and more robust. It is not high in alcohol content.
These days it was still hot and I was enjoying autumn sake every day 😅.
This is my first Kozaemon Hiyoroshi!
I couldn't decide which one to choose in the Autumn Sake corner, but this time I chose this one because of the label 😉.
I knew Kozaemon was good, but the hiyaoroshi was just as good as I expected 👍!
Aromatic, fruity, refreshing and goes well with food 😆.
Autumn sake is still on tap. Tonight is Kozaemon hiyaoroshi.
It has been a while since I have had a sake from Gifu. Taking a sip, you can taste the gorgeous fruit sweetness typical of ginjo-shu, but there is a bitter base that makes it exquisitely delicious. It is the type that matches a wide range of meals, both Japanese and Western.
Pile Driver!
Bizen Oumachi!
It was delicious.
It is called "Pile Driver" because the tank containing the freshly squeezed sake was lifted by forklift and squeezed by the force of gravity without using a pump.
Sake made from a blend of 16 different liquors ranging from 9 years old to 1 year old.
Delicious with an aroma and flavor similar to Shaoxing wine
Mellows out as the temperature rises
