I peeked in on my way home from work and found the counter empty. It's been a while since I visited. The proprietress recommends a sake that she says she personally went to the brewery to purchase. It is a sake from Sakuho. It is easy to drink because of its sweetness, acidity, and low alcohol content. However, the aftertaste is not light and leaves a delicious flavor. It had an interesting taste.
The low alcohol content and carbonation make it easy to drink.

This sake brewer brews a different flavor every year using house yeast. The complex, earthy dry taste gradually becomes familiar, but the punch is hard to resist.

Kurosawa Namikoshi Junmai 80
Rated 4.4-4.3
Rice: Hitogochi, Polishing ratio: 80%, Yeast: 901
Brewed with low whiteness, it has sweetness, umami, and a smooth taste that can only be achieved with nama-moto. The profile is a little firm with a sake strength of +8, and it expands and improves when heated.
The second cup was also Kurosawa from Nagano. The proprietress herself went to the brewery and bought it. I had to try it. I was also interested in the vintage. The taste and acidity are slowly and gently. It is a vintage, but it is not peculiar. Thank you very much.
Rice-like aroma.
Sweet and sour when you include it!
Wine, like plum juice or dried apricots.
Heavy acidity reminiscent of Mai-Bijin.
The texture is refreshing due to the acidity, but it is a rice flavor with body.
I like it surprisingly.
Taste level 3.5/5
