The standing aroma is gentle, reminiscent of bananas and flowers. When you taste it, you first sense a refreshing sweetness and umami, but it is very smooth and quickly disappears from the palate. It is mellow and dry. Perfectly suited for a mid-meal drink.

I order 7 kotsuzumi sake lees every year.
Every day is a sake lees soup festival 🩷 I recommend it.
For some reason, I am obsessed with sake lees soup and want to become a sake lees soup shop.
Is it astringency that you feel on your tongue when you put it in your mouth?
It's also astringent, like wine tannins.
The sweetness is quite subdued, yet there is a gentle sweetness.
There is almost no fruity sensation, which is common in junmai daiginjo sake.
Next, there is the aroma that fills the nose.
Then, a strong rice flavor.
A powerful sake.
It goes well with meat dishes and dishes with a strong flavor.
I hope to be as strong as this sake in this coming year...
Sake brewed with 100% Hyogo Sake 85, a new variety of sake rice born in Hyogo Prefecture
The label of 2025 is the Chinese zodiac sign for the year of the snake, Otomi.
Purchased at Nishiyama Sake Brewery's new sake sales event
The first sip has a melon aroma, and the taste is clean without being sweet, with a slight sour aftertaste and a touch of alcohol. Goes well with meals.
