I am a frequent Koshi drinker, but I happened to see this one at a small local liquor store and bought it.
It has been a long time since I hit the jackpot! I drink Kouji all year round, starting with the Risshun morning aperitif, so I knew it would be a sake that would be right up my alley, but this one had a nice kick with a slight spike, sweetness, acidity, and a nice crispness without being too sweet. It was completely to my liking!
I looked it up and found out that it was a special limited edition brewery release. I'm going to rush out and buy more bottles!
It is indeed gorgeous!
When chilled, it had a crisp and dry aftertaste, but as the temperature rises a bit, it becomes more gorgeous and sweeter!
Chiba, where you can buy this at the supermarket, is the best!
Delicious and handsome!
Your first sake brewery.
Of course, I drank it for the first time.
The initial aroma is sweet like syrup.
As the temperature rises, it has a graininess and a bitter aftertaste.
When it is cooled down, the bitterness is lessened and it is drinkable...
After the bottle was opened, it was tasty with little stimulation.
After opening the bottle, it was tasty with little stimulation, but after less than a week, the bitterness became more pronounced.
It's not good if you don't drink it right away.
Maybe I should leave it a little longer...
A delicious sake. It is 80% polished rice, and was recommended to me as having the true flavor of rice.
It has a slight fruity flavor at the beginning, and a sourness that is not too dry. It is a sake that has a sourness that spreads without a strong dry taste.

I had an image of Kouji as sweet fruit, lactic acid flavor, etc.
This sake was very different!
It has a strong strawberry-like flavor.
It has a strong strawberry flavor, and the thickness of the flavor is punchy.
It is not the kind of sake that can be drunk in large gulps.
It is good to savor it little by little.
What also surprised me was that it was quite similar to Gin Beni from Iraka Sake Brewery.
It is my first encounter with a similar sake with this flavor.
195th bottle.

It's mildly sweet with just a hint of petitiveness,
It's not fruity sweet, it's not sweet like an explosion of rice feeling 🌾, it's sharp as it says on the label ⚔️, it's crisp without leaving a residue in the mouth. This kind of thing is also possible, there is still a lot of sake🍶 to learn about it‼︎
When I went to the liquor store,
We have some unfortunate news...
The release of Koshi's "Ake no Sora", which you had pre-ordered, has been postponed. ⤵️ (mid-December)
I heard that,
I was looking at the shelf and saw a sake called "Aohoshi"!
I bought it because I felt it was fate that I would be drinking Hekiboshi before drinking Ake no Sora.
The taste is gorgeous, just like Kouji.
The fruity taste becomes more pronounced when it is cooled down moderately.
I'm looking forward to drinking Ake no Sora: ✨️
