Special Junmai Genmai Aki-agari
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% FUKUNOHANA, 60% polished rice, 16% ALC
This is my first time to drink FUKU-NO-HANA sake rice. It has no strange peculiarities, and I found it to be refreshing and delicious. I guess it's the combination of the sake and the autumn harvest.

It is brewed with 10 koku of water for 10 koku of rice, so it certainly has a rich flavor. The fresh sweetness of the raw sake gives way to a rich flavor, followed by a sense of bitterness that wears off. This is a delicious Nada sake.
Nama sake that is delicious warmed up.
The killer word got me to buy it.
I️ want to drink Omachi and Gohyakumangoku too.
Cold sake; gorgeous acidity, sweetness, yet robust!
Warmed sake; more acidity than I expected, delicious. It's delicious and soothing on a still chilly night....
Pyrex is used to heat sake in our house
Unfortunately, I opened it when I wasn't feeling well and couldn't drink it quickly enough. It still tasted good after a while, but I'd like to try it again.
At first sip, my impression was that the rice was thick.
The rice is polished to 70%.
<Sweet and savory from the start! Aroma!
The color is clear and transparent.
The aroma is modestly sweet with a hint of brown sugar. It looks sweet and delicious.
The mouthfeel is mellow, and from the very beginning there is a deep sweet flavor! And then a hint of sweet and bitter alcohol. YUM!!!!
It's interesting that the bitterness is in the aroma but not so much in the taste. The acidity is mild, but there is a tropical fruit-like fruitiness. The flavor is not intense, but the impression is soooo intense. A jackpot.

If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be like Okiyo from "Heisei Raccoon Dogfight Ponpoko". She is a raccoon dog, but she is cute. She is in love with the main character, Masayoshi.

I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images and such. If you'd like, you can search for "korune sake" or come from the link in my profile section.
Nanikore.
It's so cool.
And I bought the jacket.
I've never heard of Chiyoda brewery.
I opened the bottle immediately.
Ugh!
It's full of rice flavor!
I can tell even without drinking it, this is...!
As soon as you take a sip...
Rice!
That's it! It's so much rice!
It's funny, the liquor store's introduction label says.
"Reminiscent of white peaches..."
It says "reminiscent of white peaches..." on the label.
Come on.
I don't feel a bit of it.
It's totally rice.
It's not about whether it's good or bad.
It's not my favorite.
It should be heated.
I'll see you next time in "I tried heating it up! I'll see you next time.
Shinryo Banhaku is a wonderful word.
It is a comfortable sake that is good for drinking at night. It is also good as a midday drink. It is very smooth and has no peculiarities.
It was given to me by someone who knows a lot about sake, so I wonder if it's a rare sake?
I wanted to try a light nigori...
The nigori is also good, but my wife prefers the light nigori, so I chose this one with the light nigori in mind.
It was a little dry, with a hint of apple or pear. Pear? It has a fruity flavor like apple or pear.
At the end, it is good to feel that the miscellaneous taste remains. This may divide the taste. It would be good if the balance was a little better.
The light nigori is good.
This is a 10 year old 60% polished undiluted sake. I've had the aged sake here before, so I just tasted it. Because it was stored in the warehouse, it has a beautiful aged feeling. For an old sake, it is refreshing and easy to drink.
