Kudoki-ue's new sake, Junmai Daiginjo.
The ginjo aroma is cloaked in the sweetness of nama-shu. It is full of gorgeous honey-like sweetness and juicy acidity. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sake goes down smoothly.
I bought it at New Year's when it was at its best. I would like to have it as an accompaniment for happy occasions.
Here is the last one I ordered!
I had a hard time deciding between Kouei Kiku or Kudokyuu, but I had to choose Kudokyuu! ☺︎
It had a juicy aroma, but also had a nice sharpness to it! My senior who invited me for a drink liked it too! ☺︎
I didn't expect to be able to drink good sake on this day, so I thought it was worth working late that night! ♡♡
Following the Ogawa yeast #40, #44: ❣️
In comparison (vague taste memory 😥), it has a bitter fruity feeling with no acidity. It is easy to drink but difficult🤨to taste.
But today's menu is also complex? So it was a complex ✖️ complex and quite an interesting pairing.
Sautéed anchovies with butter and soy sauce, this had a strange harmony and was delicious!
Grilled chicken with boiled fried burdock root as an accompaniment! The chicken was simply ⭕️, and the burdock root was a bit more astringent than the other, and I think a little difference brought out the differences 🧐.
It was the usual salad of garland chrysanthemum and chikuwa ⭕️😊.
After this, I'm going to finish with sakura mochi🌸 and it goes great❤️🥰!
For impressions of the sake by itself, shinsake3 is in charge 💕.
Good evening, Pekho😄Oh! I thought the thick fried tofu was tossed with butter and soy sauce, but it's ON butter🧈💕I just looked at the picture alone and it looks like French toast😍The strange harmony is interesting🤣Chicken and alcohol is my favorite too ❣️
HinaHanaMama-san❤️Good morning‼️I drank too much yesterday😅I was thinking maybe ginger soy sauce while baking thick fried bean curd in salted rice bran for half a day, but the aroma of the finished product made me think "yeah butter‼️"! It's like French toast😍.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
I had the "No. 44 Maka Mystery-chan" last time and enjoyed it so much that I had the No. 44 again this time.
Last time it was Yamadanishiki, but this time it was Aizan 🌾.
It's delicious 😋.
Like last time, the taste is pure, simple and clear, with the main flavor of rice continuing throughout, but with some astringency and bitterness to give it a mature taste 😅.
The description reads.
A sake for the future with modern nuances.
I think I understand👍
I had it chilled.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I've never seen this Kudoki-Ue before. ❗️ I guess it's a future sake with modern nuances, so it's sweet and fruity? But it has a simple clear flavor 🧐.
The second factor that got me hooked on sake.
I was so impressed with Jikin and Kudokyuu that I took a picture of them when I bought them and it wasn't a cool picture. Too many feet in the picture. LOL.
I can't help but laugh at the overwhelming cosmetics.
Of course, low rice polishing ratio is not necessarily a good thing, but the fact that it is definitely good is also amazing.
This is a great sake that has changed the image of sake in a very good way.
Thanks to my friend who recommended it to me.
A cup of sake with the family at the end of the year.
We compared it with Tasake. I don't really compare them because they each have their own merits. LOL.
I enjoy them both so much. That's what I do. LOL.
I knew you were good at that.
My favorite "KUDOKU-YOKI-YOKI".
The overwhelming cosiness makes me reach for it...
For a kudokidote, it is certainly dry.
On the other hand, I usually don't use it as a food sake, but this one seems to be able to do it.
I would like to drink it again.

After opening the bottle, it smells like pineapple and banana!
Yes, it's a bit like a "kudokyu-tei"! It's a very Kudoi-like smell 😁 but it's very elegant.
It's banana on the palate 🤩, with a lot of banana, but also an elegant ginjo aroma that is very gentle on the tongue, and a lingering finish that leaves a nice aroma and finishes well.
It is not so dry as to make you think 🤔. It is not so dry as to make you think 🤔, but you can feel it well.
It's been a while since I've had a Kudo Ute other than the new sake, but it's good 😘.
It's delicious!
Oh yeah! Pon-chan is checking in 1/24 of this sake, the back label is a little different 🤩 The 2025.1 on the front label is the same but the specs are in a different order and alcohol content! This surprised me 😳
2/14 is Valentine's Day😍.
I was busy with work and came home late but my wife gave me the 4th piece of chocolate 🍫You know what you're doing 😘.
My daughter had her final exams until 2/14 so no 😭
Hi Kozou 😃
Kudokidoki skill, I am indeed surprised that the specs are different from Pon-chan's 😳I wonder 🧐Love from your wife ❤️🍫❣️ isn't she a wonderful and thoughtful wife indeed 💖Your daughter is no help in exams 🥹.
HinaHanaMama.
Good evening... 🤔I'm surprised that we bought them at the same time and they have different specs 😅.
I think my wife bought it because she thought I would sulk if she didn't give me a Valentine's Day chocolate 🤣.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening.
I read Pon-chan's repo and was also attracted by the "Kai" 🤣.
I don't think it's spicy at all for you two 😘It's easy to drink and tasty sake...
Hello, kozo 🐦.
You have had a drink! And dry? I guess it is 🤣dryer than your usual Jr. 😁.
Surprised that the label on the back is different 😳I looked for the reason online but couldn't find it 💦I should ask at the store where I bought it 🤔.
