Koshino-Kanbai - White Label - Normal Sake
Rating 4.4
This sake is a "sake that goes well with food as an evening drink," "can be enjoyed without getting tired of it," and "doesn't linger for the next day. Although it is an ordinary sake, it is carefully brewed by polishing the rice and slowly fermenting it at low temperatures for a long period of time based on ginjo-zukuri techniques, making it the most accessible and drinkable sake. It is characterized by its strong and outstanding sharpness.
While dry, it has a mild amino acid flavor.
I bought it because it was on sale for less than 1000 yen in my neighborhood.
I am not particularly impressed, but considering the price, it is a high spec (lol) and good for daily drinking.
Served with grilled fatty yellowtail belly.

The aroma is gentle and mild.
Perhaps it is because it has just been opened, but you can feel a tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue with a sharp aftertaste that flows smoothly through the mouth.
It was a cup that seemed to clear away not only the fat from the yellowtail, but also many other things.
Thank you very much.

It has a firm, rich flavor, but the aftertaste is clean and delicious, with a taste that is typical of Japanese sake.
The pink on the label in the image is a stain.
It is characterized by its light and refreshing taste. It has a pleasant taste and is refreshing when drunk at room temperature or chilled, and has a broad range of flavors when warmed to lukewarm.
It reminded me of the expression "light and dry" that was often used in the past. It was delicious.
I drank Koshinokanbai for the first time in 40 years. At that time, it was said to be a fantastic sake. When I visited Niigata with my boss, we were entertained at a ryotei restaurant. My senior in the industry brought in a bottle of sake and let us drink it.
The bottle of sake did not run out and I was told to drink it all up as a courtesy to the recipient. I had a hard time at the end. The bottle is different from the old one, so I bought it this time.
