Kyoto is large
150 km from north to south
Minamiyamashiro Village in the south
Kyotango City in the north
Kyoto is famous for Fushimi, but there are many sake breweries here as well.
Whatever it is, it's delicious!
The first sip of this sake is a punchy one, but it is a good sake that adds umami to the food when drunk with a side dish. Delicious.
The entrée was salmon with cream cheese.
It has a refreshing melon-like taste and a mellow chestnut-like taste. The chestnut-like sweetness in the back of the bottle is a taste of Yaetsuru, which is also found in Kameo Kuramai. 83 points.
Osaka expedition at Akagaki-ya, a local cheap bar with a blast.
Let's drink sake from the west.
This time, I got tangled up next to the log halfway.
This one is spicy.
Bitter acidity from the cooked rice.
It tastes like Yamahai.
It is very drinkable.
Not bad with a big, plump red squid.
Taste 3/5

I wondered what "Kame-no-o Kuramai" was, but it was Yaetsuru's Kame-no-o guess 🤗.
Tastes like white wine🤍.
I heard it was slightly sparkling but no crackling at all🫥.
They said the bottle was opened the day before but it seems to have been drained 🤔.
It's sweet and tasty and has a strong sweetness 😚.
It is mellow because of that.
I'm satisfied with the firm sweetness, even without the bubbles 🤗.
○○Kura Mai (Kurabu), I think I'll make my own in the Sake no Wa group😇.
Hi Hiro, good morning 🐥.
I went to check the group to see if the Masamune Kuromai was already done 🤣 I was surprised to see that there is now a "travel drinking club" 😳I guess I should check it every once in a while 😆.
I'm looking forward to seeing your 00Kura Mai 😊.
Good morning, Pon 😃.
Masamunezo Mai 🤣
I knew it 🤣.
The number of groups is increasing before you know it, so Masamune Zouzou Mai may be formed before you know it 😆... 😆.

Bitter taste in a gorgeous aroma.

Increased aroma and bitterness?

I was concerned about the bitterness, so I took it out of the refrigerator to try it out and adjusted the temperature after a little time, and the bitterness faded and the flavor came out!
A carbonation that makes you expect more from the moment you open the bottle. A sweet entrance but with a refreshing aftertaste, a summer drink. Rumney feeling. 80 points.

The aroma is calm, but when you put it in your mouth, the juicy sweetness and umami taste spreads all over your mouth with a slight carbonation.
The crisp finish is a must.
The bottle was opened after a few hours, but it is unquestionably delicious.

Sake brewed with 100% Kame-no-o, a pesticide- and chemical-fertilizer-free sake, grown with great care by Mr. Koyama of "Chantoseya Farm" in the terraced rice fields of Kamiseya, Miyazu City, located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture.
I bought it at my favorite liquor store out of curiosity.
It smelled like rum and was summery and refreshing.
When I tasted it, it was very interesting.
It is quite refreshing and dry, with a hint of sourness.
Perhaps due to the fact that it is 11% alcohol, the freshness of a young white wine, rather than the umami and richness of rice, comes out in full force.
The lingering finish is long, with just a hint of bitterness and astringency.
It was an interesting sake that could really be mistaken for a white wine if you drink it with your eyes closed.
It was a treat!
