#Japanese Sake
Sake No. 2 purchased at Tsudanuma Seven: I have not had much luck with Okayama sake, but I finally encountered it here. The name itself is often seen at Sake-no-wa, so I didn't hesitate.
The label on the back of the bottle says "MODERN," and the juicy, fruity flavor was delicious. I am sure it was delicious, but it tasted quite different from other sake I have had in the past, probably due to the Bodai origin 🤔🤔🤔I had to drink it again to solve this mystery 🤔🤔🤔...
Good evening, freelancer first generation man 😃😃.
Congratulations on your first Gozenshu and your first Okayama sake ㊗️ 🎉We have only had Gozenshu with Sandesi from Drinking Iron🚃, but Kochira is modern 🤗I'm curious about the mystery that remains after drinking a bottle of it!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ^^^^.
This is my first time in Okayama. Thank you very much! It says "modern" so I guess it is modern, but I wasn't sure because it seemed quite unique 😅 but it was delicious 😋.
Slightly fruity aroma
Slightly fruity aroma
Slightly fruity aroma, sweetness, and a tangy, squashy sensation in the mouth.
The sweetness is quite strong.
Some bitterness, but the sweetness lingers on for a long time.
Delicious!
Like a dessert!

Even when served with liver, it has a strong flavor and the liver tastes delicious without being fishy.

In the midst of my boom for dry sake, I found a dry sake made with Bodai yeast. I am not a big drinker in Okayama, so let's see how dry it really is!
It has a slightly sweet aroma of dairy products, and the soft mouthfeel brings a sweet taste of Japanese pear, which is typical of Omachi, as well as umami and bitterness that cling to this sweet taste. It also has a slightly tangy feel. The acidity is intertwined with this, creating a marriage of flavors. The taste is complex, but it is moderate, and the aftertaste, the sharpness, leaves a strong impact. It may seem surprising, but personally, I felt it was like a cold chrysanthemum with little self-assertion. However, its lightness may be superior to that of Garakudai, which claims to be a modern dry sake. Gozenshu's dry taste may be addicting to those who are addicted to it. Please give it a try. Thank you again for your patronage tonight!
The owner of the liquor store recommended it on social media as "very good".
It says it is dry, but it is easy to drink with fruity and good acidity.
It was delicious.
