@Sake World Summit in Kyoto
Very elegant Daiginjo. I think foreigners would like it in a wine glass or something.
Even though it is 17% alc, it doesn't make my throat dry up at all. It tastes super delicious when it is cooled down to the perfect temperature.
When asked, "Is there any other way you recommend to drink it? I was told "This is the best way to drink it.
I agreed.
On the Shinkansen returning to Tokyo from a trip back home.
This is a sake from the Amanohashidate area purchased at Kyoto station.
It has a low sake content and is very smooth to drink.
While traveling from Tottori to Kyotango, I saw a sign for a brewery and stopped by. Hakurei Shuzo.
When I tasted the sake, I found that this one had a better aroma than the Junmai Ginjo, so I decided to go for this one. However, I heard that they also make a variety of sweets, and I think they were more enthusiastic about marketing their products. I drank it cold and hot. It was easy to drink without any peculiarities. The aroma is better cold, but warming it up makes it even easier to drink.
Tax included 649 (300ml)
The other day I drank a bottle of Manai and said, "I've changed my perception of Hakurei! But come to think of it, Koda was not dry at all.
The gentle ginjo aroma that rises to the surface, the richness and sweetness that spreads slowly in the mouth. The lingering aftertaste is amazing.
We received a 500ml bottle as a gift from Furusato and drank a glass.
The color is slightly hazy but almost transparent, and the texture is slightly thickened with a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
In the mouth, a very gorgeous aroma with a good c/e ratio spreads out, and combined with a moderate sweetness, it has a juicy flavor. At the same time, it has a spiciness and sake-like character, and because it is only 35 polished, it has no cloying taste and is very crisp for its gorgeousness.
The good ginjo aroma may be the result of the 35-polished, ultra-soft water, low-temperature fermentation, and the yeast (No. 901 or No. 1801) showing its advantages.
Overall, the impression is of a sweet, spicy, fruity, modern sake with a leading presence. It is consistently very tasty, and one never gets tired of it, no matter how many times one drinks it.
Again, I would like to enjoy the changes in flavor over time and with changes in temperature.

Koda Premium Unfiltered Nama sake from Hakurei Shuzo!
It was hot again today! I bought this at the Hakurei Shuzo brewery in Maizuru.
It is refreshing and citrusy on this hot summer day. I drink it on the rocks, as it has the punch of unfiltered raw sake.
I bought other sake as well and will review them again.
