It has been laid down for about six months😪. The top nose has a rich malted rice aroma mixed with a slight pineapple-like ginjoshu aroma, with slightly mellow overtones. It has a rich, cotton candy-like sweetness and richness, with a slightly bitter sour accent on the back end 😚Kozaemon is great!

Hello, Kotori-san! I haven't had Kozaemon🍶 yet😅 Your review sounds delicious 🤤. I have a bottle of Kozaemon that has been sitting for more than half a year 😆. I'm wondering what to do about the timing of opening the bottle ❣️

After about 10 minutes of adjusting the gushing sake, I finally tasted it and it was as fresh as I expected, The taste was as fresh as expected. ❗️ We are very satisfied with the taste. ‼️

small fry Sweet. Saliva-inducing sourness. Woody, melon-like aroma. Bittersweet. Numbness on the tongue. I like it because it is unique. Purchased at the brewery opening in November. It is brewed and matured with Hidahomare rice grown with compost made from the brewery's sake lees called "Sake Lees Reduction Compost Farming Method".

Sake meter degree :-4 Acidity :1.9 Rice :Asahi no Yume (Gifu Prefecture) Rice polishing ratio: 50 Yeast used: Undisclosed I was curious to see the bottle that was not on the menu. I was curious to see it, and when I saw it, I ordered it too. It was my first time to try Asahi no Yume. It's a sweet and tasty yet crisp drink, and I imagine it's an adult's Yakult with soda. It was delicious. The glass was empty in no time.

Kozaemon Unfiltered Nama Sake At the old sake bar Request for Nama Sake Aged Sake A little sweet Slightly acidic and matured balance Lacks a little bit of acidity and maturity The owner said 😎. It's true, if you say so 🤔. But the sweetness gradually mellows out and It feels more like caramel... It's 👍 for sipping. I heard that the fire-roasted version of Kozaemon is more popular, but this one is also available 😆😆😆.
