Hinohikari.
The richness of the rice flavor is gutsy. Slightly hiney feeling.

しみー
Transparent crystal silver-green color.
Yellow apples, ripe pears and melons, honeysuckle, serpentine, cypress and white dumplings. Plus floral nectar sweetness and lime.
The attack is a little strong and mildly sweet, the acidity is there and smooth, and a full bitterness takes over on the long finish.
This is another solid but nicely made image. However, the sweetness is quite strong, so your taste may vary.

Hyakusenmang Shojo Kitamura Sake Brewery Nara
It has a unique aroma and taste of old sake, a good taste of rice, a little acidity, and finally a pungent taste that cuts your tongue. It soaks into the bottom.
The color is a beautiful transparent amber.
I accidentally opened the old wine first, but it might go well with cheese and ham🥺

Kitamura Sake Brewery, where we had a bottle of Zendooni once!
The best recommendation seems to be Zendooni, but I was told to try this next, so I went with the recommendation.
This time they are using Yamadanishiki, so it has a sweetness
But it is still a very solid drink.
Although it has a firm mouthfeel, it doesn't linger too long, and you can drink it quickly.
It was so good that I could drink it by itself...

Shojo生酛 特別純米 山田錦
こるね
＜It's an umami-spicy, refreshing, retro cup of sake.
The color is slightly yellow.
The aroma is modest with a hint of honey sweetness, alcohol and cedar. It doesn't say it's a barrel sake, but there is a hint of a wooden barrel. And I know it's a bad analogy, but it's like the air freshener in the school bathroom. Specifically, it smells like paradichlorobenzene. No, I don't want to use such an analogy myself. But once I notice it, I'm curious about it.
Let's get back on track and drink it.
When you put it in your mouth, it's slightly sweet and refreshing. This refreshing effect is due to the brewing alcohol. It has a retro flavor with no fruity notes at all. There is only a hint of sweetness at the beginning, but the taste is basically sweet and dry. It doesn't leave much of a lingering aftertaste and disappears quickly.
If you compare it to Ghibli, it is like the scarecrow in "Princess Mononoke". It is something like a monkey-like god. I wasn't sure if I should use it because of the name, but when I drank it, the image was perfect. It has the atmosphere of a tree and is rough.
It seems that the inugami is not good at it. I wonder if he's a good friend of the dog gods?
Satisfaction level: ★★★
I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images and such. If you'd like, you can search for "Korunezake" or come from the link in the profile section.

Aroma and taste of rice
It's been a while since I've had a special junmai, but unlike ginjo sake, this is another gem that feels like "sake"!

It has a sweet taste, but the bitterness unique to scarlet is very strong. I was recommended that it has a thick taste because it is made from edible Kinuhikari, but it is thick.

It's refreshing and has a cocoa-like bitterness.
If you close your eyes and drink it, it's iced chocolate🍫.
This is as good as it gets!

This is the first time for me to drink Yamadanishiki sake with a bitter taste. Yesterday it was Chinese-style, so the taste was even more pronounced, but today it was very tasty paired with Japanese food.
I️ now understand that it has a delicate taste.

ぴろこ
What can I say, it's simply not sweet, it's watery and easy to drink.
No bitterness, no gloom, no sourness.

On the way to the inn, we went to the Kitamura Sake Brewery. We listened to some stories and bought some regular sake. We had a heated sake at Kansuke. It tasted a little different from what we like.

A subordinate of mine gave me a bottle of this local sake and said, "Please drink it.
It's delicious! It's sweet, it's got a core, it's really good!
I have to give something back 💨

100% Yamada Nishiki
Polishing ratio 50%.
A fruity sake like Junmai Daiginjo. My parents said it was their favorite.
This time, we compared the special Honjozo, the special Junmai, and the Junmai Daiginjo, and it was interesting to see how different they were. I was surprised to find out that the Honjozo has a refreshing taste when brewing alcohol is added. It was a good learning experience.
