Sake in Yamagata
Kudokidote jr. and Ogawa yeast Aizan version Junmai Daiginjo
Kudokidokute's Kamenoi Sake Brewery brewed Aiyama, known as the diamond of sake rice, with Ogawa yeast that originated in Ibaraki. It is truly a dream combination in my opinion. Ogawa yeast is also used by Urasato-san, but I am interested to see how it differs.
The aroma is fruity. When you drink it, it is a beautiful sake with a strong sweetness and almost no sourness, which is a characteristic of Ogawa yeast, and no cloying taste. The rice flavor is stronger than that of Urasato, which may be due to Aizan.
Takeyuki has a sake made with Aiyama and Ogawa yeast, so I would like to try this one as well.
Degree of liking 10/10
Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a rice developed by Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, and is probably a kind of sibling rice crossed with Yamadanishiki, which is a cross between Yamadaho and Watabune. The fact that it has been reduced to 33% means that it can only be a good sake by any stretch of the imagination.
When we drank it, the acidity was as low as ever, and it contained a little melon-like nuance in the peach flavor. The taste is as stable as ever, typical of Kudokutei. It can be drunk with peace of mind.
It is delicious on its own, and it would be interesting to drink it with cream cheese.
Jun Dai Aizan
Sweet aroma! It's so sweet! The aroma! Sweet aroma of lychee and kyoho grapes. It's delicious. It's great. It's also good that the flavor is kept in check. Sleek and crisp. 90 points.

Kudokibe Junmai Daiginjo Hakutsuru Nishiki 33
The aroma has a very strong capsule aroma 🍍.
The taste is not too gorgeous as the aroma, just the right amount of pineapple flavor! Overall impression is elegant and clean? (It also has a rather acidic taste, so it might hold a clean feeling!)
5500 yen for a bottle of 33% Hakutsuru Nishiki...too cheap! 🥰.
Today, we have "Kudokibe" 🍶.
Last time I tried this sake, it was deliciously sweet and fruity.
I loved it at once last time 🍶.
This time it's also sweet and fruity 😋😋😋.
No change here 🙂.
And yet it's still refreshing and always feels fresh as you drink it 😀.
This is definitely another classic 🍶.
5 stars as usual 😋😋😋.
