I was nervous to drink this sake because it was called "very dry," but it tasted like a refreshing summer sake with a touch of sweetness in the bitterness.
The taste matches the refreshing package.

It was the first time I went to this restaurant in Yushima. The inside, the owner, and the customers were geeks and interesting. I would like to go back. The sake is only available in four-pack bottles, and the customers are also sake otaku. The customers are also sake otaku, and the otaku are afraid to be contacted by the owner, starting with "the result of a careful drawing of lots.
The hoshiai was fruity and tasted like Koshi. It was delicious. The label was said to have a strip of paper on it.
The brewery was ordered to offer sake to nearby temples and shrines, and the sake was named after the 12th head of the family, who was born in the year of Koshi.
I bought it as soon as I found it because I never have the opportunity to drink Koshi at home.
Aroma like ripe melon.
The considerable sweetness, like Wasanbon, was also interesting and well balanced with the acidity.
I was narrowing down my purchases when I heard that it was a limited edition that was not sold at the brewery. I was narrowing down my purchases and decided to go with the "limited edition" sake.
I was not sure if Koshi's sake would be okay, but it was delicious.

It is gorgeous and does not have much of a ginjo feel. It has just the right amount of sweetness and is juicy and easy to drink. Very tasty 😋.
