The second drink at Marukoma was my first "Koshu". It is light and crisp with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The second sake was "Koshu", which is also from Niigata but has a different flavor from the "Hokusetsu" that we drank for the first sake 🎵.

This Sake is light and not too sweet. There are herbal flavor notes like licorice and mint. The finish is clean with a light mineral aftertaste. I am told this is a limited, seasonal Sake.

Opened on October 18, 2021 Purchased at the brewery Really mellow ⭐️. Soft, sweet and really smooth ^ ^. Inspired by Momijiyama, the mountain next to the sake brewery🍁 Plump, broad and very gentle sake... I love this so much❤️!

Mr. Maribanu Thank you for your comment ^ ^. Yes, I went there for the first time, but it's so big, the building on the right looks like a public hall. Yes, the bottle is also fashionable ⭐️.

It has a strong alcohol feeling. If you like it, you can drink it cold, but I think it's better served hot.

Tomorrow is a day off, so I will have a relaxing evening drink with my wife. The aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink! I found a Junmai Daiginjo in my sake bag.

☆☆☆☆ The same Asahi Shuzo lineup as Kubota. It ranks right in the middle of Koshu. It was sold refrigerated, but the alcohol was too heavy for me, so I thought it would be better served warm.

A clean drink that tastes round when you drink it, but quickly becomes crisp and clean. Thin chocolate

Memo (from the website) As the pinnacle of the Koshu series, it has a depth that is befitting of the pinnacle of the Koshu series, and its many layers of flavoring reveal various expressions on the palate. The layers of flavors show various expressions on the palate, and it has a light, harmonious finish. Shipping is limited to April and October. Made from 100% "Chijuraku" rice grown in Niigata Prefecture. Rice(Polishing ratio) Koji rice / Kake rice Senshugaku 40% / Senshugaku 40% Alcohol content 14%. Sake meter value +2.0 Acidity 1.1 Suggested retail price (excluding tax) 1,800ml 8,110 yen 720ml: 3,640 yen memo It has the feel of Japanese sake but is easy to drink. I would like to drink it with good snacks at an Izakaya. It is not so sweet, but it is slightly sweet because of the sweetness of the rice. My wife says it is rich in flavor. She says it means well. I must drink it today, because it may become more like Japanese sake as the day goes on. Well, good-bye.
