When the bottle was opened, it was a little gassy.
Slightly gassy
Slightly apple-like top note
The same soft aroma, full-bodied rice flavor, and moderate sweetness as on the top rise spread out with a little gas and soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice flavor that quickly fades away.
The umami of the rice from the middle to the latter half of the bottle is impressive, and it is more suitable to be served with a meal than as a stand-alone wine.
It went well with herring in tomato sauce and simmered taro and squid.
The Nouveau will be released on November 7: ‼️
I'll open it right away 🥰!
It smells so good 💖and smells even better after one sip 😍and even richer with a meal ✨!
I had a bottle of Koshi's Thunderbolt the other day and it was so delicious that I had high expectations for it! And it's even better than I expected ✨
More umami than sweetness. No bitterness or sourness 👍 but not heavy, not spicy, light and gentle. It's just as you would expect from Jun Dai 🥰.
Today's dishes are oven-baked sardines with shiso leaves and cheese, marinated sea bream, and pasta with crab miso cream. When served with sake, not only the flavor of the crab miso, but also the hidden supporting characters, such as the aroma of the shiso leaves and the acidity of the marinade, become more pronounced 😍This is delicious. ‼️
It will surely accompany any meal 👍
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening Pekho 😄!
How did you like it ⁉️ Sakasui no Dawn ✨I love it the most in Koshi 😘but I haven't been able to go to the liquor store to get it yet 😭I'm going there this weekend and soon I will drink it too 🚗💨 Ohhh I can't wait to drink it too ❣️
Hi Pekho 😃
I've heard that sometimes you can buy it without reservation at some liquor stores in Chiba, so I'll have a look next time I'm in the area. ‼️ Looks delicious with a full meal 🍽️ 😙!
HinaHanaMama-san ❤️ I was kind of flabbergasted and didn't have time to soak in the afterglow, but Kouko-san made me a huge fan‼️ might be the No.1 🏆 in Hatsuzou this year👏!
I'm looking forward to your review too 🥰.
Jay & Nobby ❤️ I bet they take a little more 😊Thanks to the store! The place I bought it from has aged last year's nouveau and is selling it as a drinking contest ✨Nouveau indeed, there are so many ways to enjoy it 🥰.
Pheho-san reserved for me a bottle of Sakasui no Dawn and I had it right away 😃.
According to the description
"The first Junmai Daiginjo of the year, freshly squeezed at midnight and delivered on the same day, this is a special once-a-year sake" 👍.
Delicious 😋.
Light clear dry type
I have the impression that even though it is dry, it is not that dry.
I can't really taste the rice taste.
Easy to drink 😋👍
Pairing impression was done by Pekho 😅

Hello shinsaku3😃!
Here it is! I learned about it at Sake no Wa after I drank Koshi for the first time and I've been curious about it for a long time but haven't had it yet 🥲I have to try the clear dry type 😋.

When I was wondering where to go for the fifth restaurant of the "Gurutonami Chigasaki Motomachi 2025 Autumn", an acquaintance contacted me and said, "We're having a drink at this restaurant now, come on! I got a call from an acquaintance saying, 'I'm having a drink at this restaurant right now, come on!
What a surprise!
It was the first restaurant I had ever been to, "Eel Skewer and Small Dishes Hayakawa" 😃.
There were several sakes on the menu that I had never encountered before, so I headed right over and chose this one because of the nice label.
I think it is a refreshing, slightly sweet sake.
It was the fifth quintessential sake, and I had been drinking alone since 5:00 p.m., going around the stores in circles... my commentary notes were getting short 🙇.

I bought one last year and it was so good that I bought another one this year.
It's a 11/7 sake, so it's been two days since it was squeezed.
You can find the new sake here: ▶️
Hooray for sake nouveau!
50% polished Fushigokone from Chiba Prefecture
Alcohol 16%.
The sound of the bottle opening is almost silent.
When poured into a glass, it is full of microbubbles.
The aroma is of gorgeous ripe honey apple + melon.
What a nice aroma 🥹!
When I drank it...
The chili flavor is intense and fresh.
The aroma is sweet and fruity
The taste is not so sweet, but the flavor of the rice is full of flavor.
You can tell right away that it is freshly pressed.
It's really delicious 😋❗️
The season of new sake has arrived!
I can really feel the new sake season is here!
Get it again this year!
New Sake Celebration🎊
Friday and Saturday, I had a drinking party and couldn't drink,
Today, the bottle was opened.
It's the first time in a year! It's delicious.
I have always liked Koshi Apple, but this was the first time I found a fully ripe one, so I bought it.
It has a richer impression and a longer aftertaste than apple.
It has a different taste from Kouji Apple and I like it even more.
Sake squeezed on 11/7 and delivered to the liquor store on that day for drinking on that day, a super luxury!
On 11/7, the sake was fragrant, fresh, and powerful! It's been 3 days since I opened it, but it has become much milder.
According to the brewery, there was a production problem this year and the number of bottles was low. ...... I'm glad I could buy it!
Purchased at a Japan store. I chose this opportunity because I hadn't had Kouko for some time now. I was also a little curious about this one.
I was thinking "how fast they are selling out" when I heard that there were many people who heard that they could buy it at our store. Sooner or later, I may not be able to buy them either😅.
I didn't have an image of Kouji as fruity, but I could feel it in this one and it was really tasty 😋 It wasn't light, so I could enjoy it slowly, but thanks to that I committed the cardinal sin of drinking it all in one day again 😓.
I realized after I finished it that it was alsobe, but I don't care as long as it tastes good 😌. 1650 yen including tax is a good deal.
I thought I saw a screencap of a text I recognized on Icoma's Twitter (now X), but I laughed out loud because I thought it was my post 🤣 Such a night.
Hello, freelancer first generation man 😃.
We too have been away from Kouko for a while now 🥲The labels are changing and so on 🧐.
The post quoted in X! That's quintessential, isn't it?
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ^^^^!
I think I need to drink more Koshi, but I want to reach out to other Chiba sake as well 😅.
I just bought a certain izakaya's recommendation and it was quoted by a certain izakaya 🤣.
Fresh, gorgeous aroma and body, tingling and popping gas.
This is Koshi. I love it.

The crab ban is lifted!
But I can't get my hands on snow crab, so I will be steadily processing Kabako crab at home.
I will be serving it with Kouji-san.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas and the sweetness is moderate, but the aroma is delicious.
The bitterness that comes gradually at the end is also nice.
Crab meat, sake, outer shell, sake, inner shell, sake, crab miso, sake. It's a nice loop.
It will be a good season for a while.
