Duck in a pot with "Kaga no Tsuki Autumn Moon" (Ishikawa's Kaketsu Sake Brewery) 🍁🍶.
The lingering taste of the duck hot pot on the palate is blissfully accompanied by the taste of sake that combines the freshness and depth of autumn.
Ishikawa Prefecture Kakoshi Co.
KAGANOTSUKI Junmai
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15.5
Slightly hazy pale yellow color.
The first impression of the aroma is full-bodied
banana, bitter chocolate, caramel, yogurt
First impression on the palate is rather strong
Full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, mild bitterness.
Overall, the balance of the taste is mellow and delicious, but the lingering aftertaste is not too long and fades away quickly.
Although the alcohol content is 15.5 degrees, I feel a strong sense of alcohol.
It has a sharpness like when you drink Honjozo.
I would like to drink it with simmered dishes because it has a strong umami flavor.
I had a chance to drink with the master brewer several times, and I was moved to tears every time when I heard his thoughts on this sake, but I don't remember the specifics of what moved me each time (I drank too much).
I'll have to ask him again next time.
We have completed our 7th (tentative) lap of Japan for the time being, given that Okinawa is on hiatus for a few years ✨.
The last stop will be Ishikawa Prefecture. I'll be drinking Kaga no Tsuki, the honjozo type I've been drinking a lot👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could feel the aroma of sugarcane and its refreshing aroma.
The mouthfeel is crisp, but the mushroom-like flavor and mature umami gradually spread out.
The balance of umami, sharpness, and softness. The depth of flavor, even in a honjozo, is truly Ishikawa sake.
The aftertaste is also clean and smooth!
As I gradually approach my 10th round, I can't stop being excited to meet new brands that I haven't seen yet...!
Good evening, stst.
Congratulations on your 7th week (tentative) in Japan 🎉.
That's great 😲.
You've been drinking a lot of things in all parts of Japan. ⤴️
I hope you continue to enjoy your exciting drinking life 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
Thank you very much! Thanks to the various sake connections I've had with stores that carry many brands and encounters I've had on my travels ✨.
I will continue to cherish and enjoy our relationships...!
Purchased at Kurataro's event

It is truly fresh & juicy and
The mouthfeel is greeful sour. ❗️
It is perfect for summer and I went gulping it down.
Kaga no Tsuki (moon of Kaga) without fire because it is for an event.
The aroma is gorgeous and there is a gusto of sweetness on the palate, but it is followed by a firm pungency of alcohol. The aftertaste is light, with no lingering sweetness.

Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased at a liquor store in Kanazawa.
I thought it would have a strong aroma and sweetness since it was a daiginjo, but the aroma was not that strong and the sweetness was felt on the palate, but quickly subsided, making it a good sake for a mealtime drink.

Impression・・It was a gift. Be careful not to blow out the bottle when you open it. It's already shwashy(^^)
