I bought it at a local liquor store to try it out.
It's a rare sake that no one else carries.
It seems they were able to handle it because they happen to know the toji (master brewer).
Gentle ginjo aroma
Soft sweetness with a strong umami flavor.
A little bit of classic dryness.
But it's easy to drink without being unpleasant.

Sake brought by Pon-chan.
Most of them had never seen Matsuo before.
The brand name Matsuo comes from Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, the god of brewing.
The brewery brews all of its sake with Yamae-Nishiki, and a liquor store in Shiga started doing business with them, so they changed their planned sake to Matsuo at a moment's notice.
Thanks Pon-chan 🥺.
The sake is gorgeous and fresh, not like a fire-aged sake.
It has a smooth and clean mouthfeel with a firm sweetness.
I looked up the sake again to write this review and was surprised to see that it is an expensive sake with a 35% rice polishing ratio 😳.
No, that's exactly what it is!
Fresh and very 35%! I was very impressed with the rich body of this sake, which I would not expect from a sake that has been polished to ....... 😇
I'm not interested in highly polished sake, but I'd like to try it again.
Good evening, Mr. Sakaeran😃.
When I got home and saw the picture, I was surprised to see 35% polished rice 😳.
I was surprised to see the rice polishing ratio of 35% when I got back home 😳 It was very strong for the polishing ratio 😋I guess you are not interested in high polishing ratio, you just bring brown rice sake 🤔.
Thanks for the review, bouken 😊.
I haven't had it yet, but the others seem to be more classic and I think it's a pretty solid brand 🤔.
I'm glad to hear it's a drink that even the quirkiest pervert can drink 🤣.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I guess classic is the brewery's original taste 🤔I thought this sake was also quite robust for the rice polishing ratio 😳
Kusei kinky, that's a compliment 🤣.

Refreshing aroma, typical of nama sake. Soft on the palate. Slightly sweet. Not flashy, but strangely lingering. What is this? What is this? It's super delicious! It is!
This is Takahashi Sukesaku Sake Brewery. They are a pioneer of Yamae-Nishiki sake brewing rice, and all of their sake is made from Yamae-Nishiki.
This is a limited edition sake that is shipped to coincide with the birthday of the poet Kobayashi Issa (May 5). The brewery is located in Shinanomachi, Kobayashi's birthplace and final home. In spite of this, there were customers before and after me, and I felt the popularity of the brewery. I can only be convinced.
It is made with Sanke Nishiki, a sake rice unique to Nagano Prefecture!
It is far from floral or mellow.
It has no peculiarities and can be drunk at room temperature, lukewarm, or chilled.
It has a supporting role of a number 2 batter who is good at bunting, like a drifter, Nakamoto Kouji.
I paired it with fried chicken and pickled cucumbers.
I paired it with deep fried tofu and pickled cucumber.

A crisp, dry sake with a slightly old-fashioned flavor. The aftertaste is more sweet than sharp, leaving the impression of a lingering sweetness.
It's just plain delicious.
Matsuo "Kamimizuuchi" Junmai Ginjo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo, Kaminomizuuchi County, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, is a Junmai Ginjyo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo, tank top pressing. For three consecutive years since 2020, Takahashi Sukesaku Shuzo has been using Yamae Nishiki, locally grown in the prefecture, for all the sake it produces. Yamae-Nishiki is now brewed by more than 40 breweries in the prefecture, but Takahashi Sukesaku Brewery has been involved in experimental cultivation and brewing of Yamae-Nishiki since seven years prior to 2020, when the variety was registered. Matsuo's raw yeast production is likely to be reintroduced for the first time in several years.
Mild apple aroma. There is a clear monosaccharide-like sweetness that can be found in other Matsuo series, but there is a nuance that seeps into the tongue along with umami. The acidity with an axis underlies the flavor, which seems to be mellow yet clean and harmonious. It is a bottle that can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake, despite its complexity.
Cold.
Flavor typical of old-fashioned sake.
Aroma like cooked rice.
But it is soft on the palate, a little light and smooth for this type of sake.
The rice flavor is beautiful.
There is a sake-like feeling after a while. A little astringent.
But it enhances meals.
I served boiled komatsuna and cod roe with vinegared udo miso.
