Koshi Mellow Sake
15% brewing alcohol 720ml
Purchased a regular Kouji variety at a supermarket in Chiba.
It has a yellowish color.
The taste is exquisite, with a hint of yellow and a hint of not so yellow. It tastes like old Japanese sake, which may not be to everyone's liking. However, the acidity is quite deep. It is labeled "mellow sake," but it has a malty, aged-like sweetness and just the right amount of spiciness.
I quite like this kind of sake.
I looked up this sake on the Internet and could not find anything about it. All that comes up are refreshing, sweet sake for young people. I remember that a 720 ml bottle cost less than 1,000 yen. I guess they don't put it on their website because only local old men who can't even use the internet would buy it.

Fruity aroma 🎵
Juicy and fresh✨
Sweet and sour taste like peach or mango 🍑🥭.
A bit of bitterness also comes out and tightens the aftertaste 😉.
Just like a rich fruit juice 🥤.
It's like apple juice turned into alcohol! Fruity and sweet, I recommend it as an after-dinner dessert for adults 🍎.
It's 16% alcohol, so I was drunk lol.
It was fun and delicious. ☺️
Day 2! The sweetness was stronger than the sourness.
I paired it with potato salad and it was too good to be true!!!!!

Went to a local liquor store a while ago.
Again I told them of my preferences and here is what they recommended, Koshi no Raikou!
Actually, I have a cough from my child,
I thought it was just a cold, but it seems to be whooping cough...
It's stronger than the mycoplasma I had last year...
Please be careful everyone!
I'll take it with all my heart, as sake is the best of all medicines 😊!
My sense of smell and taste are a little diminished, but...
The aroma is fresh and fruity, and for some reason, strawberry shortcake comes to mind?
The taste is sweet and sizzling, just the way I like it 👌.
Juicy sweetness, deep bitterness, and a sharp gasiness.
It is very refreshing and tastes good.
The zucchini tempura as a side dish was a hit!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! Thank you 🙏 Three members of my family except my husband are sick and it is a very tough cough 😱 I hope to make a full recovery and enjoy Koshi again!
Sweet and sour apple-like aroma.
The palate is fruity, with a rich sweetness and refreshing acidity, followed by umami.
The bitterness is slight and quickly dissipates.
4/5
Koshi Limited Edition Nama Sake BYAKUYA
Kouji's rare (in my opinion) sake with brewer's alcohol!
I wondered how it would be, but it has a petit flavor (slightly carbonated), a strong umami, a gentle sweetness, and a nice sharpness. ......
I think this is one of the best Kouko's. I won't mention the price, but I'm sure it's good enough for other products.
I won't write the price, because it is much cheaper than other products,
I won't mention the price, but it's much cheaper than other products, so this may be the best sake in terms of cost performance.
Aroma of fresh green apple and white peach.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the fresh sweet and sour taste.
Fruity, but not too sweet, with a nice sharpness.
