I felt a slight habit when I opened it. The impression was slightly bitter chocolate from a juicy fallen goose.
On the second day, the corners were removed and it became more refreshing and balanced to my liking.
On the third day, it was even more refreshing and HANAYAKA!
It was delicious. 🙇♀️ ̖́-

It was an interesting sake recommended cold and hot, so I tried both and was shocked!
Cold
Slightly effervescent, dark, sweet and umami, but dry with a kick.
Hot sake
I could taste the spiciness and the tanginess even though it was warmed up. I've never had hot sake like this before. I thought it would be mellow, but it has an interesting punch.
I'm not a fan of hot sake, but this one was interesting and I drank it.
It's a strong tasting sake, so it goes well with all kinds of food.
Dark! Bichibichi carbonated fresh, considered very dry, but also sweet from the umami.
It has a nice sharpness and does not lose to darker pots!
As expected from Koshi. Kosupa is the big winner.

Ingredients: rice, rice malt, brewers' alcohol, alcohol content: 15%, sake alcohol content: -13.1, acidity: 1.8
Ingredient Rice: Fusakogane, Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 50%/70
Alcohol was added in the early stages of unrefining, but thanks to the skill of the Kawaguchi toji, the sake was reborn with an exquisite balance. The addition of white malted rice to the sweeter unrefined mash has resulted in a refreshing acidity, Koshi-like sweetness, and a fresh gassy sensation.
Aruzoe Specs
Fruity, strawberry-like, refreshing taste. The acidity is also moderately effective and refreshing. Easy to drink.
Iinuma Honke's "Shusui no Morojiki Nama Sake
This sake was made from mash that was mishandled during the brewing of the limited edition sake "Sakei no Dawn", and the toji, Kawaguchi, was able to bring out the best of this sake to the maximum extent through a process of trial and error.
Because alcohol was added to the mash at an early stage, it was difficult to increase the yeast sufficiently, but eventually we were able to raise the alcohol content to 15%.
By adding white malted rice to the sweetened mash, we were able to bring out the acidity derived from citric acid and achieve a perfect balance.
This is an emergency release product only for 2025, a special limited edition sake born from failure.
Ingredients : Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Fusakogane from Chiba Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio : Kake 50%, Koji 50%, Yondan 70%.
Sake meter : -13.1
Acidity: 1.8
Amino Acid : 1.1
Alcohol content : 15
The aroma is really ordinary honjozo sake. It has a smooth mouthfeel with a slight peachy sweetness. It is so delicious that it is hard to believe that it was made for a reason, and can be enjoyed by itself as much as desired.
The most beautiful Koshi I have ever had!
Conversely, the fruitiness is a bit subdued and cider-like, which is good!
The pizzazz and vigor are the same as usual, and it's easy to drink!
I thought it was rare, but it seems to be quite rare.

We finished up at the Asano Sake Shop with a 3 dry sake comparison.
I enjoyed the Kouji Dai-harakuchi cold sake I had before, so I went for this one 😋.
The cold grated one had a nice sweetness to it 😀.
The customer next to me ordered 2 sets of 3 different dry and tasty sake, and I asked him what he recommended for dry sake.
Last week, I went to a new sake festival at a brewery in the town of Sakai. I drank four kinds of sake, but the shizuku sake was the best. I will remember to buy the tickets next year because they are inexpensive and come with an oinoguchi (cup). There were two types of limited edition sake, but I chose the junmai ginjo.
The color was light amber. The aroma is of rice. When you take a sip, it has a slight chili sensation, and the rich, sweet taste has a big impact. The taste was similar to that of Daishinshu. I live in Chiba, so I will try other brands.
This sake was only available this time because the toji (master brewer) was able to revive the mash that was in trouble and ship it.
It was a very sweet sake.
