It is fresh and sharp.
The freshness that can only be obtained by pumping directly from the tap. It is delicious!
The aroma is gorgeous, but not too sweet.
I should have bought it in a bottle...
This is Kakuemon -Cry for the moon-, a special junmai sake from Kimura Shuzo in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture.
It is a delicious sake with a strong aroma, flavor, and sweetness typical of special junmai sake.
The label is also cute, with three cats enjoying the sake while looking up at the full moon.
Purchased at a sake store in Yuzawa on a business trip in early August. It was a hot damn summer, so I chose it for the freshness of the clear bottle with the polar bear print and the special feeling that it was a summer sake.
Once the cap was opened, the gorgeous aroma was typical of Akita sake. The chilled sake is slightly sweet, with a slight presence of bitterness in the aftertaste.
Two months ago seems like a long time ago, but it is still hot in mid-October!
7/10
Although it is an autumn sake, they have stopped labeling it as hiyaoroshi.
It has been aged for six months, so it is still hiyaoroshi as a preparation.
The taste is mellow, which is typical of autumn sake.
It has a muscat-like aroma, but it is mild, and if you drink it slowly, you will finish the whole bottle before you know it.
It has both floral and fruity flavors. Elegant, refreshing, and very smooth on the palate, it has a delicious sense of calmness that is typical of autumn sake.
This summer sake is a blend of Junmai Ginjyo's rough running and blame portions. It has excellent transparency, but the umami, amami, and lingering rice miscellaneous taste from the middle to the last part of the bottle. This must be the "blame" part. The label is cute!
