Ash 2024✨ Since it's New Year's Eve, I splurged. Feels like the usual "New Policy❗️" argument 🤣 It's tasty, but I'm starting to think Écru is plenty good enough 😅
Kaikou 100% Polishing Ratio 60% Alcohol 13% A white wine-like aroma, tingly sensation Just the right sweet-sour balance, delicious with minimal bitterness in the finish Plus, stable flavor for four days This was my favorite taste among all the Cosmos I've tried so far❣️
The back label mentioned "the presence of cedar" and "firmness and astringency," but perhaps due to my untrained palate, I didn't really detect those. Instead, it had a harmonious flavor and was delicious! ♪
9.7 At that event, standing and drinking warm sake in the bitter cold. Naturally, I barely remember the taste. It had Shinsei's characteristic sweet-sour flavor, yet there was also something like an aged sake's character? Graininess? Body? Overall, it was light. Not really my preference, but it was tasty.
A slight tingle Sweet and juicy with a fruity aroma that lingers in the nose Sweet and sour No harshness, but a uniquely refreshing acidity that bursts in your mouth Easy to drink and to my liking
Hanayōyoku offers sweetness, while Écru delivers a delightful sweet-and-sour balance—a perfect pairing. Lately, the cost of procuring sake has risen, forcing them to increase prices across the board. For this year's New Year's osechi dishes, the young chef handled everything alone, sharing how much he appreciates the head chef and proprietress. I found myself thinking, "If I lived in Hakodate, I would have ordered their osechi!" The hamburger steak came with snow peas 🫛 and Japanese arrowhead.

I had been saving it for a while because it was hard to find, but I decided to open the bottle to enjoy a little luxury sake at the end of the year.
The aroma was mild and berry-like. The aroma is mild, berry-like and strawberry-like.
The first sip has a gentle sweetness that is quickly followed by a slightly strong acidity that leaves a refreshing taste that is unique in the world.
The alcohol content is low at 13%, so the spiciness of the alcohol is almost imperceptible, and the sake can be drunk one after the other.
I usually drink rare sake like this only at restaurants, so I don't have a chance to taste it carefully in a sober state, and it is fun to experience a different and complex flavor when drinking it at home.

Sleeping in the refrigerator for a while after purchase
There was a lot of fizz when I tried to open the package.
Opened the bottle little by little
After struggling for more than 5 minutes, it was finally put into a glass.
The smell is refreshing.
The taste in the mouth is slightly carbonated, with a hint of alcohol and bitterness.
alcohol and bitterness.
And then the bitterness that lingers after you drink it.
and a green apple-like flavor that lingers afterwards.
And a little tingling on the tongue, but...
But if you call it champagne...
I'm convinced it tastes like champagne.
My wife, who can only drink mojitos, says
It tastes like white grapes,
