Mutsu no Shiho, may I have another Tohoku sake?
I used to get Kudokibe at the Saizuru bar in Tsuruoka.
You had this kudokibe three years ago.
I see that if you polish it to 22%, you can get this kind of sweetness without any cloying taste.
It's off to a good start.

First time in 4 years, Kudokibe Kuzushi!
A little expensive, but it's been a while since I've had a drink.
I bought it.
It is one of the top 3 of Kudo series for me.
I will reconfirm it though it is one of my top 3 memories!
Now, open the bottle!
The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, you can't get enough of the kudo-ness.
The kudo-ness is unmistakable 😋.
It is sweet, but not too sweet,
It has a refined, delicate taste that is the essence of pure daigin.
It has a refined and delicate taste.
It is made from Dewa Tsannin with a polishing ratio of 22%,
It's well-balanced and extra fine.
It is still one of the top ranking sake.
Purchase price ¥5060(1.8L)
I love it so much! The moment you put it in, the fresh spicy taste comes and then the sweet taste comes! The spicy aftertaste leaves a little taste on your tongue and makes you want to eat something!

Superbly made!
No outliers! The sweetness is well controlled
It is ideal. Today it went well with sashimi, yakitori, goya tempura, fried shishito peppers with salt, and tempura salt. Thanks to my wife for preparing it 🥰.
9.0
The initial aroma is an elegant sweet aroma derived from rice.
In the mouth, a medium level of sweetness and umami from the rice spreads. After that, there is a strong bitterness and a slight acidity. The bitterness is pushed to the forefront at the finish.
Well-balanced while eating. The bitterness is a little strong.
