New Year's Party with Former Coworkers at Takadanobaba③ Third type: Kochi's Bijoh Special Junmai This is also my first time drinking it (I think) Refreshing, but a hint of sweetness too? Gradually, I start losing track of the flavors + my notes and memories get fuzzy (as usual 🤣) After this, brands I've had before. And then my memory and notes get increasingly hazy 😵💫
Asked the master for dry recommendations: One was Asakura Junmai Ginjo Akita Sake Komachi Muroka Genshu - super delicious dry. Dry style, clean finish? The other was Suminoe Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate Nama - also dry, but this one had a bit more acidity?
And then, let's try this one again after so long! Tenshu Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Refreshing, yet you can sense that rice-like sweetness. Delicious😋 We even met up with members we hadn't seen in about two years, rekindling old friendships. We started talking about maybe staying overnight next time!🥳 So grateful.
Takashi, good evening. You truly value people, keeping in touch with members from your previous company. ✨ That's such a wonderful thing. ✨ And you drank quite a lot again this time—looking forward to the next overnight drinking party! 😋
ma-ki-san, good evening😊 Thank you so much😄 I guess I'm just blessed with great people around me🥰 My previous company was really tough (my fault?🙇) But I'm truly grateful we can still hang out and have drinks together🥰
While fruity and sweet, the carefully adjusted image of Kochi sake is dry, but really easy to drink! Kochi sake. It is smooth and juicy on the palate. It has an elegant sweetness that is easy to pair with gibier, although it has some miscellaneous flavors!
At a restaurant in Shinbashi.
Clear and short rice aroma.
The aftertaste is also short and crisp.
It is quite dry.
Goes well with steamed abalone with sake.
Refreshingly delicious.
It was served cold.
Tama-chan seems to be away on the label. So far, I had only tasted it on a server at Yamanaka Sake Shop, and I was curious every time I saw it because I own a Biyou T-shirt from Uniqlo.
In the car on the way back from Tokyo.
Popular edition. Bikyoku.
Not much aroma.
Light and refreshing on the palate.
A bit of oaky flavor, slight green apple and red flowers.
Smooth texture with no corners.
Gentle sweetness and rice flavor in the transparency.
It goes well with red clam sashimi.
A refined sake that is perfectly delicious.
Degree of liking ☆3.5/5
The first sip was quite harsh (well, it's sake), but there was no lingering harshness, and it was refreshing.
The aroma is also quite sake-like, so it's not my favorite, but I would recommend it as a quick sipper.
