Fruity and fresh aroma, smooth and clean taste. Excellent value for money. Since it is not heated at all, you can enjoy the changes in flavor even after the bottle is opened.
Both koji rice and kake rice are made from "Tamakae" sake rice grown under contract in Wakayama Prefecture.
Hometown tax payment.
This is the third time I have purchased this wine since my trip to Wakayama 3 years ago.
The last time I bought it, I didn't feel the same taste as the first two times, but this time I could feel the flavor and it was great.
12/28 at Sake no Negoroku, Iwade-city, Wakayama
Tasted and bought the ones I liked.
It was quite yellowish in the tasting,
It had a mellow sweetness.
But when opened, it had a little bit of color.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of koji.
The taste is light and dry, with a lingering aftertaste that is full of the umami of a sake yeast stock. ✨️
On the third day, both the aroma and taste became more mellow and sweet.
It was an interesting sake to enjoy the process.
Sake made in the 2021 brewing year and aged in the brewery. The initial aroma is sour like yogurt. On the palate, there is a sourness and a slight bitterness, but the umami of the rice can be felt. It has a sweetness like dried grapes and a sense of maturity. It is good lukewarm, but I prefer it cold.
This is my first Kurumizaka!
The first impression is a refreshing sourness, but since the alcohol content is 17.5 degrees, there is a gutsy adult taste chasing after it.
It was quite a complex taste.
Thank you very much for your kindness!
Ordered for 2021 Romantic's Kuruma recommendation 💨.
Tender and tasty flavor!
It has nothing to do with the taste, but it makes me happy to see the label on the top of the bottle at an angle.
