Today, we opened a bottle of "Kiku-Masamune" special junmai sake brewed with Hyogo Koishiki, a fantastic sake rice grown exclusively for Kiku-Masamune with Yamadanishiki as its parent.
The gorgeous ginjo aroma spreads softly. The first sip is a machete-like cut with a robust umami flavor that quickly passes down the throat. We served it cold, but since it is a high alcohol (18% alcohol by volume) sake, it can be enjoyed warmed.
A bottle that will change your image of Kiku-Masamune. Delicious. ❗️
It is a relatively conscientious brewer, even for a major company. It tasted like a muscat-flavored Niigata sake, which even non-drinkers would feel comfortable with. Compare with Gikyo. The company's Kamisen Nama Hashiroshi Junmai is the only brand that can be drunk in a packet. It is surprisingly priced at less than 1,000 yen for a four-pack.
It's been a while since I had a cup of sake.
It's good to choose a sake that goes well with food, but when you don't care about that and just want to pick one at random, this is a sake that you can easily pick up.
It is easy to drink, with a refreshing taste on the palate, followed by a slight bitterness.
It's always light and easy to match. As the description says, it has a light, unassuming taste that stands out.
I don't dislike it in this way.
It is a sake that does not require any accompaniments.
It's not enough on its own, so I guess it's for an accompaniment sake.
Thank you 😙🍶♩
Where did you leave the sweetness? It has a dry, light taste with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is said to have "umami and sharpness," but it is sharp but has no umami. ......
The 591st one-cup, one-pack festival
Nama Hashiwastu brewing. It is served at lunch time before soba noodles. The aroma of Yoshinosugi cedar barrels permeating the nostrils is pleasant. Itawa-soba and barrel sake are the best.
