Sake from Kami Town, Hyogo Prefecture
A rich, full-bodied flavor with great depth—truly, truly satisfying. Every sip brings contentment. The initial aroma hints at citrus soda, like lemonade, right? The nearly colorless, transparent liquid forms distinct, thick legs.

We will start the new year with this bottle of sake, Kozutsuru Shiboritate.
This year, like last year, it has a super melon flavor, and even the top notes are melon. It has a sweet taste when swallowed, but it is basically dry.
The liquid is almost colorless and clear, with a few clear legs.

I would have liked to taste something a little more robust, but this was the original sake.
Not too high in alcohol content, not too sweet, and light...
I felt grateful, but also a little disappointed...
Side note: It has been 20 years since Derek Bailey passed away.
I'll be soaking up his sound for a long time after drinking this...
The weather is getting colder in earnest.
I changed my plans on short notice and made pork miso soup.
I heated up some Kouzutsuru Smooth.
It was so warming!
