Kimishimaya's second drink was the Yonotori Zukan's Karoura, which I wanted to try.
It is a kijo-zake brewed with a combination of koji mold called kumonosukabi.
The aroma is mild and fruity, like white grapes. There is a hint of gas, which diffuses the sweetness well. The mouthfeel is smooth and the white grape-like sweetness spreads widely and deeply, but the gas softens the sweetness in a good way, and the acidity is mild but accentuates it, making the sake drinkable like a juice 😋.
Hello ichiro18. I can't get regular Yonotori anymore either, probably because of the guy who bought it at my favorite liquor store and resold it. 😢 I was able to buy about 4 bottles last year.
Hello ichiro18 😃.
Kalora is like lemon🍋 juice with a mild acidity. It is too good to be an experimental drink! I hope they will bring it out again next year 🤗.
Hi Hiro 😃
So there's a possibility that it won't be available next year 😅 It's certainly too good to be an experimental sake ✨.
It was my favorite of the new masters 😋.
Good evening, ichiro18. I guess it was not famous in Kumamoto. It is great to think about it now because you can only buy one bottle at a time. It seems that I can follow the name of the distributor. Resale is really annoying.
Good evening AAJI 😃.
How timely 😁I am awesome to be able to purchase Niimasa as Colors is the level of event lottery that I can get 🥰So true about Niimasa. You listed the distributors ✨.
Ichiro18-san It's a pity that most of the liquor stores where I used to be able to buy Shinsei are not stocking it this year, and the number of bottles of coloras and others is decreasing. I'm glad that Shinsei is fixed price even though it is subject to points. I'm glad that Sentori has so many varieties that I can't be bothered to buy it.
AAJI, good evening 😃
It is a privilege to buy Shinmasa at regular price at liquor stores 😊that's why resellers are rampant 😅I'm glad you have a variety of Sentori 👍.
It's diamond, it's berry, and it has the gut-wrenching impact of being hit with a sugar cube.
I'm drinking it outside and it almost makes me scream.
Delicious.
The best sake I've ever had.
Right in the middle for my taste!
Gentle honey aroma of apple vinegar and apples 🍎🍎In the mouth, the lush mouthfeel comes with a slight gasiness, vinegar, apple sweetness and wood vat aroma 🪵🍏✨.
The luscious sweetness is followed by a nice tightening of the milky acidity, and the bitterness on the palate doesn't hold 😭😭❤️
Delicious ✨✨
Outside drinking notes.
Never thought I would come across this 😵.
The stopper is a crown like a bottled beer 😅.
The taste is a Japanese champagne, with a sourness that must have been brewed well and the sweetness of the rice not eaten by the sourness, and a strong carbonation. ❤️
