The third item in the KURABERU series☆.
Immediately after drinking, I felt a little sweetness from the rice, followed by bitterness and a strong pungency. The sharpness after drinking was not so clear to me... I guess it is a matter of personal taste, but I would not repurchase it...
Soft, mellow nose of ripe banana, caramel, chestnuts and hazelnuts. There is a creamy aroma present too, like rich cream or milk.
More nuttiness on the palate, with banana and a biscuit-like cereal feeling. Reminds me of banoffee pie with its chocolate like creaminess and nutty, caramel flavour.
Finish is light, medium long.
Good.
3.75/5
I have bought three of these cups from Niigata and they are very reliable.
I've always wanted to buy a cup of Homare Kirin because it's so good, and the green label makes it stand out.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it will be great.
The taste is relatively firm.
The warmth is exceptional!
The flavor doesn't change that dramatically, but the drinking comfort is unbelievable!
And it definitely goes well with food!
I think this is the year to travel and drink sake!
I can't do a nomi-tekki yet, so I'm going to try a cup with a video just to get in the mood.
I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've seen it.
I'm not sure what to make of it 📣.
I'm sure you'll like it 😁.
Good morning, Shinjo.
You got a good one👍.
There is Kirinzan, but this Kirin is also a talented brewery.
The best Niigata sake is regular sake and Honjozo class sake for evening drinking. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun 😌.
Thank you (๑´ω´no 遥瑛チ氏)
I'm sure you'll find a lot of things to look forward to, such as leading and getting carried away, Mr. Taekawa's lying corner at the end of the first day, and his panic at the finish line.
I also think that Mr. Oikawa is the most interesting!
Hello, Mr. Hiracchio (๑´ω´๑)
I too feel that Niigata has great sake for evening drinking!
This cup is comparable to Hakkaisan or something like that.
I can see how it is suitable for everyday drinking!
I am going to try all of them in the antenna shop!
It's winter.
Winter is the best season to eat rice vinegar.
Speaking of the nigori of Echigo...
I welcome winter by drinking this every year!
Welcome Winter !
Homare Kirin by my favorite Shimokoshi-san
Smoked chicken and salmon and fried akebi with miso ^^*!
The harvest and shipment of the radish are almost finished!
Mr. Nocchino.
Thank you for your comment.
There is a beautiful shop called "TADAIMAITO" in the middle of Niigata prefecture.

We are shipping vegetables to there.
We are also trying our best to grow rice.

It is cooled. It is light, dry and refreshing. It tastes good. With sashimi that goes well with salted ponzu and sliced onions.... ...3.5+...maybe next time.
<With cold sake, it has a lightness typical of Niigata.
This is the 16th bottle in the "Kuraberu" series of 1-gallon bottles.
First, I tasted it at room temperature.
The aroma is moderate sweet and sour alcohol. It has a grain sweetness and lactic acidity, and is not fruity. This is also a retro style.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft sourness and sweetness at first. But in the next moment, the flavor and bitterness of the grains come out. It is more powerful than I expected.
After swallowing it, a bitter aftertaste remains. And it will disappear slowly.
This seems to be more delicious when chilled. Let's chill it.
The fragrance is gone. You can only feel a slight freshness.
The mouthfeel is lightly sweet and sour. The umami (sweet and sour) flavor spreads out from there, but it quickly recedes and breaks off nicely. Yes, it is light and dry. It has become clean. There is still a slight graininess, but it's hardly noticeable. I think cold sake is the right choice.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Yuki-chan from "The Cat Returns". It is a white cat. It is slightly sweet and beautiful. The word "Danrei" suits her well.
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆☆
I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images. If you'd like, you can search for "Korunezake" or come from the link in the profile section.
Homare Kirin Special Junmai Sake
The Homare Kirin series is an affordable standard sake from Shimokoshi Shuzo in Kambara.
This special junmai-shu is brewed with Gohyakumangoku polished to 55% and blended with the same standard Yamahai-zukuri junmai-shu to add umami and richness.
This sake won the KuraMaster gold medal in the French sake competition.
It is very smooth on the palate, with a clean, crisp, dry taste with a hint of sweetness and umami from the rice.
Warming it up lukewarm brings out the soft and fluffy rice flavor. Easy to drink. It's delicious.
