Dawn of Shisui
We are very thankful for it and eat it gratefully!
A cup of melon with a hint of carbonation.
A cup with a beautifully sweet taste!
I have a feeling that new sake will be released one after another from now on!
It's going to be a fun season, isn't it?
But I wonder if the price will be raised..,

The other day, I was passing by and stopped by Iinuma Honke!
The mouthfeel, the aroma, the taste, and the alcohol. All of them are really soft. Not just modest, but gentle. The enveloping softness melts on the tongue.
Kouko's balance of flavors is a work of art.
I'm hooked on Kouko!
Sakasai Dawn 2025
Chiba Prefecture Fusakogane / 50% Kyokai 1801 yeast
This is the fourth time this year. The sake was pressed at midnight today, and a local liquor store picked it up and we can drink it today!
It is fresh and crisp, with a moderate acidity and a refreshing fatness.
The sake store also gave us some sakekasu (sake lees).
Screw stopper type
Comparison with Toyo Bijin
Compared to Toyo Bijin
Fresh! I feel
The smell is more fruity
fruity.
The taste of Kouji is less sweet, but
but the bitterness is weaker.
but the feeling that lingers in the back of the throat
Kouko's taste disappears more quickly.
If you compare the two
I feel like I know what it's like.
but this one is just as good.
Let's try other Koshi
This is the first time for me to see "Kouko" which I sometimes see on Sake-no-wa's TL.
And I bought the label.
I was surprised at how gentle it was...
Not too sweet... not too sour...
It is just as it says on the label.
And the stylishness of naming this texture "luminescent" 👍
Kouko is the talk of the town at Sake no Wa: ❤️
Hatsuzou ㊗️🎉so delicious ‼️
I've been curious about Kouko-san for a long time because of HinaHanaMama's delicious review and her comment "Kouko-san is modern💖" and when I went to make a reservation at Sakasui no Dawn, I found this one just in time to get it in a nouveau eve kind of way 🙌😍!
Since it's called modern, we decided on Western food😍.
It's a hamburger and shirasu pan visa ❣️
Wow 😍delicious 😍‼️ mouth watering, fresh and fruity, sharp without bitterness ✨Yes, Modern 💖.
It's easy to drink and seems to be swishy, but it's 16 degrees. Its firmness is there👍
I'm also looking forward to the dawn of Sakasui 🥰.
Impressions on the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho😄.
First time! Congratulations to Koshi: ㊗️
I'm glad you were able to reserve a table at Sakasai Dawn 🙌 Good 👏It's absolutely delicious, so look forward to it 🥰I can't wait to try it now ✨The eve of the festival with the thunderstorm, you're all ready to go ❣️
Hi Pekho 😃
Congratulations on your first Koshi at the eve of the festival ㊗️ 🎉Congratulations on the thundering ⚡️ roaring deliciousness ‼️ Koshi for sure 🤗Looking forward to the repo of the main event 👋!
HinaHanaMama❤️ originally it's already time for the after party 😆.
I'll try to follow Kouko after the nouveau 💪I'm glad to see that the two stores I usually go to for my purchases both carry Kouko 😍.
Jay & Nobby, you ❤️ had a great production nouveau 🎉I see, Jay-san travels back and forth to Chiba often, so we will have the latest lineup💖.
Chiba is also a love ❤️ 👍👍
I got my first Koshi 😃.
Pekho-san bought it for me: ☺️
She said she pre-ordered the sake nouveau "Sakai no Dawn" from the same brewery and this was a preview for it 😅.
According to the description
The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel a shock like a thunderclap. The fresh and gorgeous aroma, body, and tingling gas sensation are kept in the refrigerator at -5°C until autumn, resulting in a gentle, angular taste👍.
Delicious 😋.
It is indeed crisp on the palate, but as the description says, it is not too sharp and angular, with a nice dry taste that is full-bodied but not heavy 👍.
Pairing impressions by Pekho 😅
Here is my personal impression😅😅
I like it] 8 (out of 10)
Aroma】Modest ginjo aroma.
Taste: 5 is the maximum
-Spiciness: 3 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste
-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste
-Bitterness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Astringency: Start 2→ Lingering 2
-Rice flavor: 1 at the beginning → 1 lingering 1
Mouthfeel】→2
Smaller number = light
Bigger number = richer
It's gassy, spicy, and delicious.
The finish is as beautiful as ever, and the acidity makes it light enough to drink easily.
I guess it depends on the individual whether you feel the alu feeling or not.
